Creative Coping: Shaping Grief with Yoga, Meditation, & Clay
Advertisement
Grief is an emotional response to any loss—whether it’s the absence of a loved one, the shifting of a dream, or a change that reshapes our lives. Rather than something to “get over,” grief is something we can learn to move with and build a relationship with.
In this two-hour workshop, we will come together in the fullness of grief to explore new ways of moving through it. We will engage with grief through movement, mindfulness, and making, honoring what we carry and creating space for healing and connection.
Our time together will include:
Yoga & Breathwork – Movement and breath techniques to regulate the nervous system and support emotional release.
Meditation & Meridians – Grounding practices and acupressure points related to grief
Journaling & Reflection – Thoughtfully guided reflections to name, explore, and transform your relationship with grief, as well as shared moments for connection in community.
Clay Play – Hand-building a grief vessel—a small ceramic form to symbolize what we are holding, releasing, or honoring. This vessel may become a space for written reflections, a place to hold treasures from loved ones lost, or simply a tangible reminder of your ongoing relationship with love and loss.
You are welcome to bring a small object, photo, or symbol of your grief to press into the clay, embedding its presence in the form you create.
Creativity allows us to express what words cannot. As we shape clay with our hands, we shape our understanding of grief—not as something to be overcome, but as something to integrate.
No prior experience with yoga or clay is needed—just an open heart and hands ready to create. You are welcome to bring a small object or photo that holds meaning for you.
Who is this for? Anyone navigating grief in any form, looking for a supportive space to move, create, and connect.
