Opening to the Joys of Life, Death, and Grief

Remembering ways of being with grief and death that free us to be more joyful, loving, and fully alive.

Opening to the Medicine of GRIEF

Grief is innately alchemizing. The work of grief is to surrender to all that grief asks of us, to be fully present with a reality we did not want or ask for. We do this by learning to open to the raw energies of grief and the liminal space. Grief support allows you to be transformed while honoring who/what you have loved and lost.
