Honoring Grief: Finding Acceptance & Growth in the Season of Joy

The holiday season is often framed as a time of joy, yet for many, it is also a time when grief surfaces due to loss of a loved one, a relationship, or even a physical capacity. This workshop offers a compassionate space to honor the full spectrum of your experience: the sorrow and sweetness, ache and the growth.

Over three days, we'll gather in community to explore the duality of grief and life through storytelling, embodiment practices, creative expression, and ritual. Together, we'll make room for both the pain of what has been lost and the possibility of meaning and growth.

Info: Arriving & Opening: We will welcome each other and orientate to the weekend through a grounding practice and intention setting. We will have some guided reflection and breathwork and an opening ritual to honor the duality of grief and joy.

Info: Exploring the Duality of Grief & Life: The day begins with embodiment and reflection practices to ground and open the heart. Through storytelling, creative expression, and rituals for honoring loss, we explore the paradox of grief and life. The afternoon includes group discussion, compassionate boundary setting, and a closing circle to integrate the day’s insights and experiences.

Info: Integration & Carrying Grief Forward: On the final day, we focus on integration through gentle grounding and journaling, reflection and witnessing practices, a creative integration ritual, tools for self-compassion and nervous system support, and a closing circle for sharing and community connection.
