Loss impacts us in so many ways. We feel grief from loss in our body, our mind, and our heart. Attending to both the body and mind through movement and writing can aid in easing some of the symptoms of grief by helping to unite body, breath, and heart.

What should I expect from this Moving, Breathing, and Writing through Grief series? Each of the four sessions will incorporate the use of movement, breathwork, and guided journaling. Writing in response to a grief-related prompt will allow for reflection and processing, while the breathwork and movement will aid in being with the emotions and sensations that arise and moving through them.
Is there a fee to participate? The cost to participate in this in-person event is $100 per person for the 4 part series. If you would like to participate, but are unable to cover the fee, scholarship options are available. Likewise, if you are able to give a bit more, it would allow for others to participate who might not be able to otherwise. We hope that this program is accessible to all who need this support.
