Ritual and Ceremony: Forgiveness of Self and Others

As a hospice nurse, and an end-of-life doula, Gabby Jimenez uses a lot of ritual and ceremony in her work. Gabby has witnessed the comfort they bring to patients and their families, and the many ways they can help soften the grief journey.

Gabby has learned that ritual and ceremony can help with grief and loss, but also forgiveness, stress, anxiety, panic attacks, regret, guilt, and emotional pain that has been held in for far too long.

This workshop will focus on ritual and ceremony for forgiveness of self and others. During this workshop, Gabby’s goal is to share why rituals are so important in her work, and how you can use them in your own personal life, as well as the work you do. One of the things Gabby witnesses most when at the bedside is the regret people have. Gabby will hand over some of her tools to help you learn to let go of things that weigh heavy, such as learning how to forgive, so that you can find more peace in your life. She will conclude with a closing ritual for letting go.

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Please have a candle and lighter on hand.
