Medicine for Our Times
Shapes of Grief
Grief can take so many shapes.
In Shapes of Grief, we’ll explore embodiment & song practices as stepping stones to express & metabolize what the body holds. Leaning into grief can feel clunky, foreign, or sometimes, terrifying. Let’s practice taking it slow as we make visible what’s moving on the inside.
Our time will include guided meditation, song, movement, & sharing from the heart. We’ll practice finding ground & exploring the shapes, sizes, & speeds of our grief. Through it all, the essential ingredient is us: being together, breathing into the places it hurts to go alone.
You are welcome here–Whether grieving in community is new or familiar, whether your grief is raw or tucked somewhere below the surface with smoother edges. Join us at Shapes of Grief: An introduction to embodied grief on April 17 and June 26 from 6-9pm. Come to one or both.
Guided by Monika Denise and Kelsey Maloney.
