Grief Group Support

This 8 week format is designed to provide a safe confidential experience for small groups of 3 or more with one or more certified Grief Recovery Method Specialists. Our support groups offer a safe, evidence-based environment for grievers to take effective and lasting action, no matter the type of loss experienced. We will provide specific tools to help you navigate the troubled waters of loss and ultimately direct you to an emotional state of well being.

  • Grief is the normal and natural emotional response to loss of any kind.  Most of the information we’ve learned about dealing with loss is intellectual. Although our Grief Support Groups involve some educational elements, effective Grief Recovery must deal with your broken heart, which requires emotional support instead of intellectual explanations.
  • We aren’t going to tell you, “We know how you feel,” because we don’t. Neither does anyone else. What we will do is provide a safe environment where you will be given specific tools to help you recover from loss and ultimately lead a happier life.
  • Did a death, divorce, or the end of a romantic relationship cause it? Or was it caused by any of the forty other losses that a person might experience such as moving, pet loss, or a change in finances? Regardless of the cause, you know how you feel and it probably isn’t good. Grief is emotional not logical and our Grief Recovery Method Support Groups offer a safe, evidence-based environment for grievers to take effective and lasting action, no matter the type of loss experienced. These groups are led by Grief Recovery Method Specialists, trained and certified by the Grief Recovery Institute.

Support in the Community!

Finally, there’s a safe and confidential place in the community for men in particular and all people in general to share their emotional truth and be heard without criticism, ridicule and rejection. We offer a safe, confidential opportunity where true healing can occur. The Grief Recovery Method is:

  • Evidence-informed
  • Evidence-based
  • Practice-based
Yes, the Grief Recovery Method is not only for the loss of loved ones, or loved circumstances. The unfinished emotional business of loss is not restricted to feelings of love and relationships. The loss can also arise from difficult and awful circumstances. If you’re not sure, get in touch with one of our specialists to talk it through.
No, at no point in the Grief Recovery Method will you be asked to forget or let go of your loved one. You will be working on letting go of the pain surrounding your loss. Many grievers find they are able to recall memories more happily because the pain that used to come with them has gone.
Time does not heal all wounds, but there are specific actions you can take to help you discover and complete unfinished emotional communications. When you begin to reflect upon all of the things that you wish had been different, better or more, and when you realize that all your hopes, dreams, and expectations for those relationships are no longer possible, that is the time to begin your grief work.
In general, The Grief Recovery Method works best in a group format. However, some grievers will not or cannot participate in a group setting.The Grief Recovery Method, whether in a group or one-on-one format, will provide you with tools and skills to help you go from discovery to recovery.

1-on-1 Grief Recovery

Our Grief Recovery Method Specialists are certified to work with you 1-on-1, taking you through the action steps necessary to navigate the troubled waters of grief. The 1 on 1 Grief Recovery Method is conducted in a safe way, that reaffirms the confidential, and compassionate people who are here to serve you.

  • Many grievers find it easier to work with a trained specialist 1-on-1. This program is for those who prefer to work face-to-face with a certified Grief Recovery Specialist 1-on-1, rather than in a group setting. This 7 session format utilizes the same proven materials as the group process, but in a more private setting.
  • Our Grief Recovery Specialists are skilled in creating a safe environment for you to discover and navigate the emotional pain you have been carrying surrounding a loss in your life. We are here to listen and support you throughout the Grief Recovery Method process, without any judgments, criticisms, or comparing losses.
  • Many grievers find it easier to work with a Trained Specialist one-on-one. This will allow you privacy in discussing your emotional pain in an unbiased and safe environment.

Ways To Navigate Loss

Every specialist at Navigate, Inc. has been certified through the GriefRecovery Method Institute to help grievers deal with the pain of emotional loss in any relationship.

  • Acknowledge Your Grief
  • Care for Yourself through the Grief Process
  • Accept Support through Your Grief Process
  • Cherish Memories during Your Grief Process
Grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss. It is not a pathological condition, nor is it a personality disorder. Grief Recovery® is an educational experience, based on the fact that most of us were never taught effective tools for dealing with grief. Participants find that any subsequent therapy is enhanced by their experience in the workshop. In fact, many therapists refer clients to the workshop.
To help you grieve and complete your relationship to the pain and unfinished business caused by death, divorce, or any significant emotional loss.
Yes. Unresolved grief can drain us of energy. It tends to close our hearts down. Since we’re incomplete with a prior loss we automatically protect ourselves by not loving again. We “hold back” in order to protect our hearts, thereby steering new relationships to failure. In addition, grievers tend to hide their true feelings for fear of being judged. When isolation is the problem, participation is a major component of the solution.
Grief can cause or derive from a cycle of emotional insecurity and trauma. When we think about how we are taught to deal with loss the generational process is rooted in biased and detrimental practices and therefore hurt people even though their intention may not be to purposefully hurt others can and often do pass along hurt creating a cylce of emotinal poverty.

Deliberative Dialogue

​

Deliberative dialogue provides a forum in which to assess the “public’s viewpoint in a series of structured, face-to-face small group interactions over an extended period of time, to ensure that all voices are heard and a call to action is developed.

Our deliberative dialogue process usually requires a minimum of two meetings. The first is a Discussion Circle that is devoted to participants sharing how the topic affects them and offering ideas to address the issue or concern. During the second Discussion Circle, the pros, cons and tradeoffs of implementing each idea are discussed and common ground for action is reached.

  • Our Deliberative Dialogue Circles are facilitated by a moderator trained in the dialogue process.
  • Deliberative dialogue differs from a debate. Two or more sides work collaboratively toward understanding, rather than two sides opposing each other and attempting to prove each other wrong.Our Deliberative Dialogues and community circles are facilitated by trained moderators skilled in these practices.

Deliberative dialogue workshops are facilitated group discussions that provide participants with the opportunity to share their issues of concern, listen to others perspectives without judgment or criticism, and use deliberation to mutually agree on what is the best decision of those who will be impacted by the decision. Deliberative workshops are similar to focus groups although there tends to be more focus on deliberation. They can take anything from a few hours to several days to conduct.
Workshops typically involve between 8 to 16 participants plus a recorder and moderator. Participants are typically selected on the basis of demographics, interest group, or random selection and have a vested interest in the issue or issues at stake.
Initiating a deliberative dialogue effort may not be the solution for every community wrestling with an issue. To plan and implement it successfully will require work, time, resources, and the willingness and enthusiasm of the people involved. For it to be a valuable experience, participants will need to explore the topic they discuss more in depth, which may differ significantly from other perspectives regarding the issue.

Rites/Mentoring

Rites of Passage, as a developmental and transformational process, is culturally specific – not universal. It is based on the premise that every society / culture has certain expectations of its members throughout each developmental stage of life. That everyone is born with a purpose, and that purpose is intricately tied to their family and community's sustainability. Purpose, understanding who you are and why you are here, is tied directly to one's mental well being. "Rites" is the process that allows one to more effectively prepare and transition from one developmental stage to next. "Rites" are conducted in group formats and are often age and gender specific.

“Train up a child in the way they should go and they will not depart." Rites teach that each child / person has a way; a purpose. Mentors are matched with their mentees according to their gifts and purpose. They see the gifts and talents, their way, and are there to assist them in their way. Why, because they know the way. This allows for the best experience for the mentee in that he / she is learning from a Master.

  • The process and details of initiation differ among societies; song, dance, masks, various tests/ordeals, tattooing, etc. have been utilized as verification and ritual symbolism. And emphasis varies by society, some focus on bravery and toughness, others spiritual aspects or practical education
  • Rites are critical to individual and community development.
  • The bonds between initiates usually last a lifetime. No matter the ritual, the underlying purpose remains the same; fundamentally dealing with transformation and guiding the person from one stage/ maturity level in life and development to the next from birth to death and beyond.

How To Strengthen Community Bonds

When individuals are introduced to knowledge of self and guided to remember and embrace their life's purpose, they no longer see themselves and individuals, but connect to a higher, more spiritual level of consciousness. They understand that their life has meaning and therefore matters. They began to see themselves as a part of a bigger universal reality. A purpose driven life enhances family, community, nation and race. Everyone wins.

  • Acknowledge&Commit to Healing and Recovery
  • Reconnect to Your Life Purpose
  • Join a Local Rites of Passage Group & Experience the Transformation Process
  • Restore Self to Family & Community Uplift
  • Give Your Gifts & Talents to Mentoring Others
Once a student or person realigns themselves to their purpose and understands their unique gifts, he / she can be matched with a person who has become a “master” in that gifted area. This type Mentor match helps the individual embrace their uniqueness as a gift for the betterment of the family and community.
No. Rites of Passage is a developmental process for everyone, young or old, from inception to death. It is the process that assists you in preparing and transitioning from one developmental stage into the next.
Navigate is not affiliated with any religion. However, we believe that spirituality is one of the key components in every human’s evolution into a higher self. We value and encourage each person’s deep and meaningful connection or relationship with whatever they consider the Sacred. This relationship is unique for each person and we do not strive to shape it, only to nurture its own natural growth and development.
In total, all the tuition we collect only covers about half of what it takes for Navigate to fund an office, the staff, books, equipment and training to prepare for and run our programs. Individual community supporters, because of their deep commitment to provide this experience to all who desire it, contribute the remainder, just over half of our total operating budget.

Therapeutic Art

Therapeutic art is an integrative experience that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, creative process, and human experience within a explorative and creative space.

This collaborative and transformative experience is not based in the process of therapy and utilizes goals addressing the broader effect art making may have on participants.

Expressive art making is a tool for healing. The creative process can help you gain insight for your life and create change. It is embedded in the belief of free self expression and not technical art skills.

  • Use the creative process and art making to reflect on yourself, gain deeper understanding of yourself and express your emotions. No art experience is required.
  • A unique painting created JUST FOR YOU BY YOU on a canvas blessed with your words of affirmations. The colors and images that appear become messages for you.
  • Practice vulnerability through creative expression and discussion can be done in a group or one on one.
Image

Art is a Key to Self Discovery

Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure.

  • Space to discover emotions that may be difficult to express through words
  • Permission to reflect, explore and address your feelings in a safe and supported environment
  • Develop a new self-care tool and creative practice
No art experience is necessary for you. Your art facilitator is highly trained in visual arts and he or she will guide you in the process of creating art using specific types of materials. All you need is a willingness to experiment and explore.
It depends on your interests as well as the therapeutic benefits of certain types of art for your situation.Your sessions could potentially include activities such as working with clay, painting, making a mask, creating a visual journal, and assembling a collage. Most often, the focus will be on the process rather than creating a finished art product.
Your artwork is your creation and always belongs to you. Some people choose to keep the finished artwork, while others may decide to leave it in the care of the facilitator.
It is not customary to interpret your art. In a humanistic or transpersonal approach to the process, the focus will be on the personal meaning that you find within your own creative work, rather than an arbitrary meaning imposed by external opininon. You are the expert on your own artwork and creative process, and our role is to facilitate explorations of your work rather than to analyze or interpret it.
