This looks like a good workshop, for anyone in WI near Beaver Dam.

Sometimes grief needs to be heard. Rainbow Community Care and the Beaver Dam Community Library are coming together to explore how we can honor our losses in creative and meaningful ways.

Join us for "Our Relationship with Grief," a special session led by Rainbow Bereavement Coordinator & Chaplain Laura Wessels. During our time together, we’ll explore why expressing grief is essential and offer ideas for honoring our journeys. We’ll even practice one creative way to honor grief as a group.

When: Wednesday, April 1, 2026 | 6 p.m.
Where: Beaver Dam Community Library (1701 Spring St. Beaver Dam)
The event is free and open to the public.
