GRIEF BECOMES US
Navigating Loss & Sorrow Through Storytelling
Being alive in such a fleeting and tenuous world requires us to grapple with losses of all kinds. Our hearts get broken in ways that can’t be easily mended. Whatever sorrows you are carrying it’s possible to know more about how you are living inside new losses or old ones. How do you live this? What is loss, grief, sorrow like for you - what is it like in your bones, breath, heart, mind?
This class is not a grief repair vision or a loss and sorrow mending workshop. But just because you can’t fix grief doesn’t mean there is something more to know about and to offer tenderness and care to parts of ourselves that may feel tremendous sorrow. This writing immersion is an opportunity to be intimate with ourselves. In this course there is an opportunity to be with what we know and what we don't know yet. When we shift from fixing to tending to grief, loss and sorrow there is something perhaps that has gone unknown or invisible that can now be made more visible and known.
In this 5-week virtual writing intensive there will be:
• a short guided meditation
• brief check-in
• writing prompt of a poem (and/or other prompts) and time to write
• opportunity to share your writing if it feels right
• follow-up email and writing prompt for week
