What is A Day With Mitch And Alan?

Using our original music and art coupled with humor and provocative dialogue, we have created a unique workshop that provides fresh new insights into surviving loss. The day will be divided into 4 sessions which will cover in depth, methods that can give us hope for the future and that will allow us to live productively with our loss for the rest of our lives.  Our workshop is at the forefront of a paradigm shift taking place in the world regarding the positive resolution of grief.  We both are vocal advocates of this new thinking which focuses on healing through embracing our loss and staying connected with those we love who have died.  This workshop will greatly benefit the newly bereaved, the seasoned bereaved as well as those who care for the bereaved.

What is our background?  Individually we are nationally recognized speakers, writers and presenters.  We have presented hundreds of programs throughout the United States and Canada.  Both Mitch and Alan have been featured as key-note speakers and presenters at many prestigious conferences and major events for organizations such as The Compassionate Friends, Bereaved Parents of the USA and The International Gathering on Bereavement.  Our work and writings have been featured in national magazines and have been covered in countless newspaper articles and other media.  Together we bring over 20 years of hands on experience sharing our journey with bereaved families.
