The elements…

give us a language for our energy body. We can begin to understand how unmet grief shows up as emotional expressions, behavioral patterns, physical symptoms as our way of being in response to difficult life experiences.

FEAR ~ ANGER ~ WORRY ~ ANXIETY ~ IMPATIENCE ~ DEPRESSION ~ SADNESS ~ UNCERTAINTY & MORE

Patterns set in as a way of protecting ourselves. These are perfectly normal and important, over the short term. When we don’t address long running grief, we risk getting “stuck” in limiting patterns of behavior. Sometimes we need to help the energy of the body to flow again.

This journey is to help you meet your grief, hold it, and begin to process or integrate it through your body. 

Working with grief in this way can feel very empowering. Using the body to interface with grief creates space. In the space there is the possibility of hope, change, trust, nurturing, and acceptance.

It’s important for us to relearn and remember how to interface with grief and loss in a way that is honoring and not something that can be fixed, hurried, or ignored, because it can't. 

Grief is sacred. Grief is our own and no one else can define how we experience or express our grief. There is no “right” way to grieve, however there are compassionate, holistic and integral ways to tend to grief which have been lost to our western world.  

Grief tending, together, is potent medicine.

Some ways we experience grief and loss are: 

Death of a loved one 

Loss of relationship 

Infertility 

Miscarriage 

Divorce 

Separation

and the list goes on…
