Objective:
To bring the myriad benefits and applications of Degriefing® to the broadest possible audience.  I have developed and used this methodology in situations ranging from individual therapy up to an entire community of ten thousand, from a mother grieving her lost child, to developing a curriculum for prison populations exorcising their accumulated grief. “Grief is the most available, untapped, emotional resource for personal transformation.”
