What to Expect

This is a one session workshop of about 2-3 hours.  We will come together as a group to introduce ourselves and share a little about your loved one. Each participant will  choose a bear and select the materials needed to build the kit. I will offer instructions throughout.  We will work as a group to assemble the Teddy Bear Project Kits.  We will close the workshop with a support group. The Kits we make together will be ready to send to a child who has been recently bereaved. 

 

If you would like to purchase the kit for yourself or someone else, Click here.

​

If you want to construct a Teddy Bear Kit for yourself or someone in your life, you can purchase a kit in advance of the session. In this case, you can bring in fabric of your own or even from the clothing of your loved one for the pocket of the Teddy Bear. We can support you in cutting the fabric for the Bear. ​If you are interested in this option, please let me know ahead of time so we can make time and space for you.

​

All proceeds go to activities for suicide loss survivors, including a scholarship fund for future workshops. A portion of the proceeds will support the All Souls Church for giving us a physical space to come together. 

We are opening a special session for you to work with family members. Bring your surviving child(ren) (ages 8 and up) or other close family members to make your own Teddy Bear Kit. Session cost includes one kit. Additional kits are available for purchase for other children in your group.
