Coming Home to Love | A Workshop on Processing Grief

Grief can touch every part of our lives. Sometimes it arrives suddenly, other times it lingers quietly in the background. It can feel so heavy and overwhelming that moving forward seems impossible.
Through my own journey, I’ve found that grief doesn’t need to be “fixed” or pushed away. Instead, when we meet it gently through the body, it can soften. We may not lose the grief completely (and perhaps we’re not meant to), but we can learn to carry it differently—with more lightness, acceptance, and openness to love again.
This two-part workshop series offers simple, grounding practices rooted in Somatic Therapy—an approach that sees the body as a gateway to release, healing, and transformation. These practices are gentle, supportive, and accessible to anyone, no matter your experience.
In this first workshop, Coming Home to Love, we will explore ways to acknowledge and hold your grief, and then invite the body back into movement and flow—so you can leave feeling a little lighter, steadier, and more connected to life.

What to Expect
- A safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental space to feel and honour your grief.
- An opportunity to share (only if you wish) and be reminded you’re not alone.
- A gentle guided journey into the body, where we create space to notice, hold, and feel grief—or whatever emotions arise.
- A liberation practice to open the heart again, allowing love and life to move more freely through you.
- A grounding practice to gently land and integrate before we leave.
- Simple practices you can take home and use whenever you need support.

Who this workshop is for
This workshop may be supportive for you if:
- You are grieving a loved one who has passed.
- You are moving through the loss of a relationship, job, identity, or home.
- You feel sadness, heaviness, or numbness that you don’t know how to shift.
- You want gentle, embodied tools to help process emotions in a healthy way.
- You are curious about somatic practices and want to learn in a supportive space.
- You long to feel more open, connected, and at peace with where you are.

What to Bring
* Yourself, exactly as you are.
* Comfortable clothes you can move and relax in.
* A yoga mat to lie on, and a blanket if you get cold.
* A journal and pen if you’d like to reflect afterwards.
* A water bottle.
I’ll provide light snacks to ground us at the end, and I recommend nourishing yourself with a hearty meal afterwards.
