What

Misery. Despair. The blues. Suffering. Regret. Anguish. Bleak thoughts.

No matter how you WORD the feeling, grief comes to visit us all. In this workshop series we will explore our grief(s) via creative and personal writing, as well as mindfulness and movement activities. The Grief House’s five philosophies, as well as Francis Weller’s The Five Gates of Grief will hold open the doors for us to (metaphorically) walk into the field of acknowledgement, sharing, and ennobling our stories of sorrow and remembering.


Each session will follow the same agenda, each with a unique topic and set of activities. Here’s a preview of what’s planned, though it might change slightly:


May 6:

Topic: Sorrow + Breath; Everything we love, we will lose

Activities: scavenger hunt + reflective writing
