4:30 pm (ET), 1:30 pm (PT)

Join Marymount Manhattan College to learn how to cope with COVID-induced loss of our social lives, family gatherings, and normal lives. Led by Ms. Diana Nash and Dr. Martha Eddy, this free webinar is intended for those looking for strategies to boldly Unmask COVID-19.

Professor Diana Nash will explore what lies behind the pandemic masks we now must wear, how we harbor feelings of anxiety and depression while grieving our losses of identity, lifestyle and expectations. Together we will explore new ways of coping and discuss the many bridges we must cross in restructuring our lives.

Professor Diana Nash is a licensed mental health counselor devoted to clients with grief and loss issues and an adjunct professor of death and bereavement at Marymount Manhattan College.

Dr. Eddy will explore the benefits of somatic movement during grief and loss. The body holds sadness from loss of freedom or lack of choice in one’s daily life as well as from other sources of loss. COVID-19 has heightened these emotions, while simultaneously denying us our usual outlets: friends, family and activities. Dr. Eddy will share how to express those feelings in a manner that honors them and allows you to have access to your full range of emotions.

Dr.Eddy is the award-winning founder of Moving For Life, a dance-exercise program designed for older adults and people of all ages diagnosed with cancer. This work deals with bodily aspects of physical stress and trauma - loss of fertility, loss of body parts, fear of dying, dealing with systemic oppression and more. As a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist, she coaches individuals using her own system called Dynamic Embodiment, which she developed in 1990 after her mother died from cancer.
