Small Group Programs

---

Grief in Relief is an eight-week, 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. Each session includes facilitated discussion and guided artmaking. 

Grief and loss taking infinite forms, and all are welcome in this circle.

Over eight in-person sessions we will:

• learn and unlearn about the nature of grief and loss, drawing upon creativity, intuition, and nature for 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 and deep listening

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.

This group is facilitated by therapist, Caroline Fraase, and artist and healer, Lisa Cheney-Philp.

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.
