“As a facilitator, Ellen conjures connectedness, intimacy, boundaried space and, above all, permission to access one’s creativity and bravery—and all of this via Zoom which seems impossible but is not with her steady and compassionate guidance. She teaches us how to witness ourselves and each other through the writing and listening process and in so doing, expands my sense of what’s possible.”
GRIEF BECOMES US:
Navigating Heartbreak, Grief, Loss, & Sorrow Through Writing
Online writing groups that honor the different losses we carry, no previous writing experience required.
Grief Becomes Us offers a gathering place for those wanting to experiment with writing as a practice to traverse losses of all kinds including the parts that feel inconsolable.
Just because you can’t fix grief doesn’t mean there isn’t something more to know about. This writing immersion is an opportunity to be tender and close with yourself. Caring for yourself through loss and sorrow can be an intense, intimate, deep experience and when shared, perhaps you’ll feel a little less alone.
This class is for you if you are experiencing or have experienced any of the following: ongoing grief due to the death of a loved one, anticipatory grief, relationship change or loss, life transitions, health changes/diagnoses, childhood losses or a sense of ancestral loss, environmental and political grief, ambiguous sense of grief or other kinds of sorrow that there is not great language for.
