This grief & loss workshop will include:

1. Welcome and Introduction - invocation, brief overview + safe space to share.
2. Understanding Grief - discussion of the different types of grief & common reactions and feelings associated with grief.
3. Coping Strategies - introduce healthy coping mechanisms + the importance of self-care.
4. Sharing Stories: Living Memories - a space for participants to share memories or stories about loved ones.
5. Yoga/Body+Mind+Spirit Integration - specific asana in correlation to grief & loss and Yoga Nidra to support healing in these realms.
6. Closing Circle - share insights, takeaways.  Discussion of resources.

Joanna will be facilitating exploration of specific questions around grief and encouraging people to share what brought them to the group space. She highly encourages anyone to participate and wants people to know that their grief is valid & invites people to drop any type of comparison to others in this space, such as “their grief or my grief is worse”. One person’s grief or loss is not better or worse compared to another- it simply is what it is. She hopes to create a safe container for people to share openly and plans to identify group guidelines to create this safe container.

Michelina will be holding space for the body incorporation alongside mind and spirit within the realms of grief and loss.  There will be opportunity to move through specific shapes that support you in tapping into the sensations that naturally take place when connecting and feeling into the concepts of this offering.  This will follow with a Yoga Nidra guided meditation that will serve as healing in navigating through the emotions, coping, and responses to your losses.

Please bring any item(s) that you may feel called to have with you in this sweet evening of opening your heart & navigating grief.

Friday, November 7th 7:00-8:30pm
