The Mindful Way through Grief 4-week online course
Led by Jen Johnson MS, MFA, LPC, LCMHC, E-RYT
The Mindful Way Through Grief is for anyone moving through loss in its many forms—personal, collective, anticipated, or unnamed. Grief is a natural response to love and change, yet it is often rushed, silenced, or carried alone.
Through mindfulness-based practices, gentle teaching, and reflective inquiry, this course invites participants to meet grief with presence and compassion. Rather than trying to fix or move beyond loss, we will practice skills for learning to stay, growing our capacity to be present with the difficult emotions, bodily sensations, and thoughts that often accompany grief in ways that ease overwhelm and foster steadiness.
Each week includes guided mindfulness practices and simple, practical tools that can be woven into daily life. No prior mindfulness experience is needed. This course is open to anyone seeking to meet grief with greater ease, kindness, and compassion.
Dates: Thursdays, April 2 – 23, 2026 Time: 9:30am – 11am EST Cost: General Public $225 UNC Affiliate currently employed by the University of Hospital System $200 Currently enrolled Undergraduate and Graduate Students $175
