About this Event
A 90-minute Chair Movement Workshop for Anyone Suffering a Loss
When we experience a deep loss, our lives have changed forever. We can often feel like elephants stuck in the mud. Heavy-hearted. Alone. Unrecognizable to our very selves. We know there’s a reason we’re still here, in our earth bodies. But how do we find that purpose? How do we trek on?
First, it's important to physically move the pain through our bodies so the toxins don’t get stuck, causing illness. Equally important is releasing our emotional suffering to create some space for calm, balance and empowerment. We will bring the spirits of our loved ones right along with us on the journey, as we hold them steadfastly in our hearts.
In this compassionate workshop, we’ll use movement, breath, words, and sound to help release sadness, hopelessness, fear, and anger to help us move toward more empowerment and joy.
My hope is that you will leave more liberated emotionally, a bit less stuck in grief, and armed with techniques you can use to keep putting one foot in front of the next as you navigate this difficult time.
Wear comfy clothes, bring a notebook, and come join me as we continue lumbering ahead.

"I have become an elephant. I remember everything. Every hug, every kiss, every look of love across a crowded room that nobody caught but me. My forward movement is slow and lumbering. I need my herd around me –- family and friends to blanket me with love and form a protective circle around me when I struggle to continue forward. That’s what elephants do."
