About this event

Honoring Grief somatic breathwork • reiki • sound immersion Grief is a natural response to loss, but it doesn’t always look the way we expect. It can be the ache of losing someone we love, the ending of a relationship, a change in identity, a season of life that has passed, or the quiet realization that something we once knew will never be the same. Grief can bring sadness and longing, but it can also show up as anger, guilt, numbness, confusion, relief, or a sense of disconnection. Sometimes it is felt deeply; other times, it can feel like nothing at all. Honoring Grief offers a space to acknowledge what has been lost or changed without needing to make sense of it, move through it, or turn it into something else. Rather than asking grief to go away, this experience invites you to meet it with presence, compassion, and curiosity. Through somatic breathwork, Reiki, and immersive sound, you’ll be invited to connect with your body and make space for whatever may be present. The breath can help bring awareness to sensations and emotions, while Reiki and sound create a supportive environment for you to settle into the experience and allow things to unfold naturally. There is no particular way you are supposed to feel, and no expectation to reach a certain outcome. You may experience emotion, memories, sensations, stillness, or numbness. You may feel sadness one moment and relief the next. Whatever arises, you’ll have space to be with it without judgment or the need to fix it. Give yourself permission to create space for whatever is present, meeting it with compassion and curiosity, without needing to understand, change, or move beyond it.
