Grief in Relief: remembering loss as a call to creativity is an eight-part, in-person program that invites a small circle of women into a series of embodied conversations and creative practices to explore and move grief so we can grow our capacity and confidence to well-tend experiences of loss with ourselves and with others.

Over eight in-person sessions we will:

• learn and unlearn about the nature of grief and loss, drawing upon the ways and wisdom of water for guidance and inspiration;
• explore the ways we carry grief in our bodies – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually;
• move grief like a river using expressive arts - creative writing, journaling, music, movement, artmaking and more; and
• practice truth-telling, deep listening, and offering and receiving reflection.

Upon completing this course, you will be able to say with increased confidence:

• My relationships with grief and loss are expansive and deep.
• I acknowledge, honor, and move grief creatively and with ease.
• I trust in my ability to meet others in their grief and loss experiences in ways that are mutually supportive.
• I have capacity for joy, vulnerability, connection, and resilience.

If you are ripe for this kind of transformative work for yourself and your community, I do hope you’ll consider stepping in with us.

Please note: All of the experiential activities offered in this program will be guided. No prior experience is necessary and participation is always a choice, not a requirement.

If you have any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss before committing, please schedule a free consultation with Lisa.

Weave in Ends: remembering death as a gift to life is a small group program that invites death-curious adults of all ages and in all stages of living and dying, into deep conversation and practice with death so they can grow their capacity and resources to live and die honorably – with intention and integrity.

Whether we are aging with a terminal illness or in good health with an expected long life ahead, none of us know exactly when or how we will die. In our most astute moments, however, we remember that death is a fate that awaits us all. 

Deep consideration of this foundational element of humanity - imminent death and awareness of it - opens us up to a sort of magic, capable of stripping away all that is distracting, peripheral, and beyond our control while bringing to the center of consciousness all that remains raw, incomplete, or out of alignment with our core values named and unnamed. 

In this course, we will enter brave space and engage with longstanding patterns of fear, anxiety, inaction, and silence around death by listening, speaking and taking action to establish, examine and/or redefine our relationship with death. 

Through embodied practices and conversations with ourselves and others, guidance from skilled facilitators, and wisdom from those who have traversed the terrain before us, we will contribute to the necessary work of mending the delicate fabric of life, doing our part to restore its integrity and vitality for generations to come.
