The global pandemic has triggered an ongoing season of grief. Yet an affirmative and constructivist approach makes it possible to transcend grief, find meaning, and consciously choose and create a season of GROWTH. This program offers an opportunity to learn the principles of Appreciative Inquiry (a strengths-based approach to generative transformation and growth), and practice “Generative Conversations” to facilitate growth after and alongside grief.

​

• Practice “Generative Conversations” to facilitate “Grief & Growth” work, and inspire hope, resilience, meaning & growth; and
