Grief is one of our most universal experiences — and one of the least welcomed. Yet when we allow ourselves to turn toward it rather than away, life becomes more available to us in all its fullness.
In this workshop we will use guided meditation, embodiment practices, writing prompts, and tea ceremony to create a gentle space for you to meet yourself. To befriend grief — to learn its language, feel it in your body, and discover how you can carry it with expansive grace, tenderness, and strength.
You will leave with repeatable skills and practices you can return to on your own, whenever grief asks for your attention.
Come with a specific loss you are living with, or simply with an open heart and a desire to deepen your relationship with this very human experience.
Please wear comfortable clothing and bring any props that help you settle in — a blanket, cushion, or bolster. We will move between sitting and lying down as you follow what your body needs.
General Admission: Sliding Scale $50-150
