A group-themed acupuncture clinic, titled Holiday Blues and Grief Support, will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. on December 10, 2022, at the Pellegrino Healing Center, in Hyde Park. The clinic will be led by Sharon Zeiss, MS, L.Ac., and will include group acupuncture in a community setting; quiet reflection time for relaxation and processing; relaxing and healing meditation music; and aromatherapy blends to evoke feelings of calm, safety and comfort.

“As human beings, we all experience the emotional challenges that come with grief and loss, especially during the holiday season,” says Zeiss, a licensed acupuncturist who has worked in the wellness world for more than 30 years. “Whether you are mourning the loss of a loved one, an opportunity, a physical attribute, or a certain way of life, you can benefit from this emotional processing session.”                   

The holiday season can be difficult for so many, which is why it’s important to gather and heal in collective energy this month. Specific acupuncture points will be used to regulate emotions, balance the mind, and heal the heartspace.

A short recorded meditation by Pellegrino Healing Center’s Meditation & Mindfulness Teacher Michelle Eggink, NTP will be incorporated into this group session. There will be no talking during this quiet treatment and reflection time. Participants are asked to turn their cell phones off or on silent and to wear loose and comfortable clothing.

Cost: $40, plus $1 service fee. Location: Pellegrino Healing Center, Bldg. A, 4307 Albany Post Rd., Hyde Park, NY. For more information or to register, visit PellegrinoHealingCenter.com/events.
