Rituals for Grief Workshop

Grief is not something to get over — it’s something to move through.

On the 18th anniversary of my mother’s transition, I shared a video titled "18 Years of Grief" that showed the rituals that have carried me through years of healing, remembering, and reverence. The response reminded me how many of us are quietly holding grief — sometimes fresh, sometimes ancient — without a safe space to express it.

Rituals for Grief was born from that realization.
It’s a space to remember our loved ones, honor their lives, and release the emotions that have been tucked away so we can breathe again — fully and freely.

Why This Space Matters

Grief is one of our greatest teachers. It asks us to slow down, listen, and let ourselves be changed by love that has nowhere else to go. Yet in a world that glorifies “moving on,” we rarely get the chance to move through.

This workshop is an invitation to pause — to tend to your heart, your body, and your lineage.
Together, we’ll create space for the tears, the laughter, the memories, and the silence that often go unspoken.

You don’t have to carry your grief alone.

What You’ll Experience

In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll explore:

• The Physical Body & Grief: How grief lives in the body and ways to support your breath and body in releasing it.
• The Spiritual Significance of Grief: Practices of ancestral veneration and connection with those who have transitioned.
• Rituals for Healing: Guided movement, prayer, and sound to help you move energy and create your own rituals of remembrance.
• The Mind’s Journey: Understanding grief as a teacher of resilience, compassion, and transformation.

This workshop is for those who are:
✨ New to grief and seeking grounding
✨ Seasoned in grief yet yearning for deeper release
✨ Disconnected from grief and ready to feel again

This is more than a workshop — it’s a remembrance of ancestral connection that goes beyond the physical.

Grieving Through Life is designed to help you alchemize grief into purpose.
