About this Event
About the Workshop:
Loss is a part of life’s natural cycle, yet grief—the profound response to loss—often goes unseen, unacknowledged, or misunderstood. This workshop offers a safe, compassionate space to explore grief, transforming it from a burden into a source of deep, radical change. Together, we’ll witness how our nervous systems hold grief and learn to listen to the language of our bodies, examining how personal and systemic trauma has shaped us.
What You'll Experience:
- Grounding Meditation: Start with a grounding exercise to center your presence and welcome the day’s intentions.
- Exploring Loss: Discuss the forms of loss—from loved ones and experiences to personal transformation.
- Somatic Experiencing: Engage in gentle, embodied exercises that help us access and release grief held in the body, with compassion for our deepest emotions.
- Movement Practice: Experience a mindful, gentle movement session to embody grief’s energy, inviting release and acceptance.
- Reflection: Journal and share insights to integrate, honor, and process what comes up.
What to Bring:
- A journal
- A grounding item that offers comfort
Takeaways:
Leave with an understanding of how grief can be a supportive, transformative force, guiding you toward resilience and self-compassion. Experience grief as a healing medicine, part of the radical journey back to yourself.
