The Portland Grief House, 7906 N Fessenden St, Portland, OR 97203, USA

What

This practice is a powerful way to process transition, loss, renewal, and change, move stuck energy out of the body, reconnect us with our intuition and remember the truth of who we are beneath the surface.


What To Expect:


Ahead of time - You will be invited to collect personal letters, photos, journals, & documents that connect with a past trauma, grief, shame, or life disruption you have trouble communicating and processing with spoken language.

We will send more information about collecting and connecting to materials for your piece.


We will start with group agreements and grounding, to create a trusting space in which we feel supported without the requirement of sharing our personal stories as narrative.


Then we'll each find a place in the house to settle and begin to work with the physical items we brought to create the foundation of a mixed-media art piece. We'll cut, tear…
