We Have a Widowed Person for That is a place to find others whose lives have been altered in some of the same ways as yours. Every widowed experience is different, and yet the way the person you love died may influence how you grieve. At Soaring Spirits we’ve discovered that connecting with other people whose loved one died in the same way as yours offers a unique and powerful comfort as you move through your grief.

Join your fellow widowed community for an evening event that provides the opportunity to further the connections you made throughout the day while enjoying a light buffet dinner.

In Living After Loss, Cindy Lang offers a powerful and compassionate keynote for widowed people learning to live the life they never expected. Drawing from her lived experience and years of walking alongside others in grief, Cindy speaks to a profound truth of widowhood: when someone we love dies, we do not only lose them—we lose the life we thought we would have.

Beneath the work of surviving, many quietly wonder, is it possible to live fully again?

Dating after the loss of a partner can bring a mix of emotions such as hope, uncertainty, excitement, and guilt. This session will explore the emotional realities of dating after loss, including common concerns, barriers and myths. Together, we'll discuss what it means to move forward while continuing to honour your person who died, as well as how to approach dating safely, confidently and with healthy boundaries, at a pace that feels right for you.

Grieving the loss of a primary relationship causes us to struggle in almost all aspects of our lives. Finding new coping strategies and full-body self-care techniques is one way to manage our profound emotional reactions. Come prepared to stand up and learn some basic movements of Qigong and Tai Chi Ch’uan as an approach to build grit and resilience to help you move through grieving.

This is a come-as-you-are event. Participate in whatever way feels right for you. Themed attire and costumes are warmly welcomed, but never required. Wear whatever makes you feel fabulous, because this night is a celebration of you.
