Grief is one of the hardest emotions to process and move through, while death is the only certainty in life, it is still often hidden, shunned and rarely discussed in the West. Throughout 2020 everyone suffered a loss of some kind, so essentially, we are collectively in the grieving process.
In these gatherings, we allow everyone a welcoming space to sit in circle - to share food or drink tea together, to feel safe enough to share - or not - with others who are also grieving a loss. There is no fixing, only deep listening and respect to everyone who speaks, allowing them to share their pain of loss without interruptions. There is deep healing in being seen and heard, in a safe and inclusive space. We also start with a grounding meditation to bring us fully into our bodies and the moment - no previous meditation experience necessary. In the midst of the pain of Grief, we often lose sight of some of the good things that exist in our lives, so we end with a little gratitude shoutout.
Simple acknowledgment of one thing which we are grateful for now in our present circumstances and lives.
Informed by my own early experiences of deep grief - the loss of my mother to illness at 10 and father to alcoholism at 30 - I know how painful, lonely and isolating the grieving process is. Also how much love and light can shine through us once we move through to the other side of Grief. There is deep Alchemy in this process, which can be seen felt and embodied in time.
I will be holding grief groups monthly, in person OR online; the last Saturday of each month, the next one is October 29th at 7:30pm.
