LOSS OF SPOUSE: BEGINNING EXPERIENCE

From Friday evening through Sunday afternoon, the Beginning Experience program is presented by a team of people who have suffered the loss of a loved one through death, separation or divorce, and are willing to share their own experience to help others. Team members lead participants through a program of presentations, personal private reflection, and small group sharing.  A sense of community develops in an atmosphere of care and concern that is a hallmark of each  weekend.

Beginning Experience weekends are held three times a year in the Kansas City metro area.  For dates, see: http://www.beginningexperiencekc.org/, and use the online inquiry form or contact register.bekc@gmail.com – Lynn Schulte 785-282-8964, Teresa Gutierrez 816-529-9002 .  For additional resources on healing, or to find a weekend in another city, visit: www.beginningexperience.org . 

Beginning Experience also offers a weekly format over the course of about 8 weeks that leads the participant through the healing process.  This weekly experience is called, “Coping with Life Alone”.
