Online Self-Care Retreat: Tending to Loss (Open To All)

Crystal Meisaan Chan

For those experiencing loss: This  retreat uses imagery, metaphor, bodywork, and Spirit to tend to loss. Gentle, restorative. Open to All.

This online self-care retreat is designed to honor and give space for the losses in one’s life, and then to honorably, tenderly, and respectfully move grief through the mind, body, and spirit so that grief doesn’t get “stuck”. We will be tapping into the strength of the earth as a re-grounding tool when grieving, as well as the deep well of spirit within. This retreat also aims to give tools so people continue on their own healing journey after the retreat. We will engage in different visualizations and embodied meditations to keep grief from being “stuck” in the mind, spirit, and body – looking to move grief onward so it does not become stagnant within us. The main themes we will explore are: Grounding, soothing, releasing, emptying, and filling. We will give time and gentle space to acknowledge the losses in our lives through embodied meditations, tapping into our spiritual strength (whether it be ancestors, God/Goddess, a Higher Power, etc.) and practicing soothing techniques to calm down our body, breathing, and connect our body with the earth. We will allow our hearts to feel and grieve our loss, and then learn different techniques to soothe the heart and come back to center. We will also explore how the body approaches emptiness with calm confidence and loving tenderness, and we will tap into the body’s wisdom and the earth to teach us how to respond to our emptiness. Each main theme will have an accompanying embodied meditation so participants can connect to the concept not just with their mind but integrate it into their bodies as well.This retreat will run over two days, four hours each day.
