Dancing with Grief

Grief asks to move with us and through us, to stay in our fIeld of attention and care so it can be felt, processed, and we can be supported by its presence. Through all levels movement such as dance and yoga, meditation, journaling, building a group alter, sound healing, and a sharing circle to express who and what we are grieving, we dance with our grief.

We offer ourselves space to be with the powerful, painful, illuminating, exeperiences of grief. We offer compassion to our grief and the grief of others as we create a community of support and healing. We learn from our grief, expressing it, listening to it, learning its wisdom.

Liziah began the work of grief tending after her Mother, who was her closest companion and magical grandmother and caregiver to her young children died from a hit and run car accident on her daily walk. Liziah experienced her world instantly changed, and filled with the ripping heart ache and break of traumatic loss. She was moved into a grief journey that took her wide and deep. She journeyed to the most painful places and also touched the powerful and love filled places grief can take us. She recieved grief support and started to listen and study with grief teachers. 6 months into her journey grief showed her that it was time for her to hold space for others. With her workl as a mental health therapist and yoga, dance teacher she began to move and breathe and listen to the broken, open hearts of other greiving people. Liziah has learned that grief is wise, and when tended to offers gifts of life, depth and healing that lead us to live with authenticity, purpose, fullness, compassion and of the messy wholeness of our humanity.

Please wear comfortable clothing for movement, bring a journal, an item for the group alter, water bottle, and any other comfort items to stay with you through the experience.
