This recording is from a virtual workshop on February 6th 2025. This session works with feeling and meeting grief and loss through the breath.
Join for a breathwork practice to explore your relationship to grief. We will work with writing prompts, diaphragmatic breath, and three part breath to make room for grief to emerge while you consciously breathe with and through it. This is a virtual workshop. A recording will be emailed to all who register the day after the workshop. (Will be just my face and voice.)
To experience grief is a human experience. However, sometimes it can feel all-consuming. Perhaps it is from this lifetime, from when we were young or maybe it’s as recent as last week. Or perhaps the grief is ancestral, ancient, connecting us to the pain of generations before us. Perhaps every new loss unearths the old; the tender places of sorrow living all throughout our physical bodies. Beyond our individual experiences, the current political climate offers us much to grieve.
To tend to our grief is sacred work. It’s a descent into dark waters of bottomless depth. The work is to figure out how to touch down into it, learn from it, and swim back up to the surface, changed. Grief worker and writer Francis Weller speaks of the power of creating spaces for this: “It grants a profound permission to enter a place of sorrow, to work with it, to explore it’s contours and textures, to become familiar with the landscape of loss. “ To be diligent in the work, we need a space to do so in, a practice. We don’t have to do this work alone. Like Hecate, the goddess of thresholds, the underworld, and poison medicine, we can harness the wisdom and gifts in grief. We can hold torches in the dark for the parts of ourselves still reeling from loss. We are not lost.
