Facilitated by Jonathan Bower, LCSW

For anyone who has encountered grief or loss around the winter holidays, or for anyone that arrives to the darkest time of the year still processing the death of a loved one, the coming months of frenzied, holiday-themed cheer and blissed-out chaos can prove an altogether different and jarring experience than the holiday stories we're sold or advertised. 
 
If this echoes your experience, or mirrors your apprehension about the weeks ahead, Wintering Hearts is designed with you in mind. Through a blend of group dialogue, readings, writing prompts, and other creative exercises, Wintering Hearts aims to give participants a safe place to explore the impacts of their individual experiences of grief over the course of the holiday season in a supportive, structured, and creative environment.
 
There is no requirement or expectation that participants must engage in all 8 sessions. There are individual drop-in fees per session, or one can pay to attend all 8 sessions at a lower rate. However, since space and materials will be limited, it will be helpful to get a rough idea of numbers starting out ahead of November 8. I encourage folks to reach out, bombard me with questions, and to sign up early. 

The group will meet November 8, 15, & 29, December 6, 13, 20, & 27, and January 3, 2024.

I am happy to entertain questions and unpack details and specifics with providers or potential participants as needed. Please contact me at either jonathanbowertherapy@gmail.com, or at jonathan@jonathanbowertherapy.com. You’re also welcome to call my office line at 907-891-0217 if phone is easier.
