Holding Space For Grief Gathering & Workshop:

Sunday November 23rd at Blossom Wellness (3rd floor studio) in Montpelier: $45-65 sliding scale, per person >>> register

Join us for a community grief circle- where grief is honored, shared, witnessed in compassionate space and accepted.

We are all grievers. Each one of us, at one time or another, will experience grief and loss and perhaps more accurately, over and over again. But how do we live with grief? What does it mean to grieve consciously? And, are we willing to lean into and toward grief, rather than running away?

We will explore these questions and so much more in this 2 hour interactive, supportive and relaxed workshop.

All grievers are welcome to come as you are and join us in safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space. Your tears are welcome, your questions are welcome and even your joy is welcome as we explore what is most natural- the human grieving process.

Whether you lost someone you love last week or 10 years ago, you are grieving the current political climate, the loss of a pet or the loss of a job or relationship- you are welcome. Embedded in grief is a hidden opportunity to find new growth, healing and meaning- if we allow ourselves to be right with it. And, being with our grief in community, with other grievers- is one of the most potent ways to co-regulate and heal our nervous system during times of great stress, change and loss.

Join us to explore:
* What is grief anyhow and how long am I ‘allowed’ to grieve? Spoiler: There is no time stamp on grief.
* 4 helpful & supportive orientations to grief
* The many different kinds of grief and why they are helpful
* The unexpected opportunities embedded in grief & loss
* Healing tools, rituals and practices to support the griever

Through a guided grounding meditation, heartfelt conversation, journaling, and a fun creative activity- we will begin the process of acknowledging, honoring and transforming our grief. My hope is that participants leave this workshop with increased grief awareness, daily practices to support themselves plus greater self-compassion and inner peace.

Please note: Sharing in the group is ALWAYS optional. You are welcome to come and just be in the space if you like. You will be invited to participate in only the ways that feel just right for you at this time.
