Continual Loss & Present Moment Spirituality: How Dementia & Grief Can Be Meaningfully Experienced
Brought to you by Odyssey
April 3, 2022 - May 1, 2022 (5 sessions)
Mondays, 6:00PM - 8:00PM ET
Course Description:
Dementia, spirituality, and grief. Grouping these three realities together generates a myriad of questions, yet also numerous possibilities for enlightenment and
compassion. Whether you have personally experienced any of these realities, are a caregiver for someone who is, or are curious about comprehending their connection, you are invited to join us for a five-week course which explores this unique relationship. This course is designed to engage students in a brief overview of dementia, emphasizing its trajectories of decline and related behaviors. It also examines the concept of spirituality in a contemporary context and various perspectives on the experience and purpose of grieving. Through lecture, interactive discussion, writing prompts, and other creative exercises, students will endeavor to comprehend the intersectionality and impact that these realities have upon the human journey as they
deepen their understanding of the processes of aging and caregiving.
