newsbriefs Two Events on Grief C


heryl Downey, founder of Sacred Wheel Center for Grief and Healing, in Burnsville, will host two events this fall to help people deal with loss and transition. Downey, a former hospice chaplain and certified spiritual healer, will hold both workshops at the Berkshire of Burnsville Community Room. The first is the Mysteries of FatherLoss Retreat, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on October 25. The second is the Sacred Prayer Beads Workshop, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on November 22. Registra- tion fee for each event includes materials and a light lunch.


Downey has worked with death, dying, life losses and grief for almost 35


years, and has seen the immense benefit people can receive by acknowledging the grief that resides within them. “Autumn is a natural time for reflections of our life losses and transitions,”


Downey says. “We see our world releasing the energy of outward vibrancy and brilliance into a quiet introversion and internal movement, much like grief can be. In contrast, grief-hearted ones may feel their changes and loss more acutely and heavi- ly this time of year, and find themselves searching for a deeper healing and release.”


Cost: $25 each; payment may be made by cash or check, or online through PayPal. To register, call 612-272-3977 or email Healing@SacredWheelCenter.com and include name, phone number and event. Location: 13901 Echo Park Cir., Burnsville. For more information, visit SacredWheelCenter.com. See Community Resource Guide listing, page 29.
