Because we live in a grief-phobic culture where many of us have internalized cultural and family messages that both dishonor and disenfranchise the very human experience of grieving, we rarely have the space to explore what our broken hearts truly need.
Join grief coach and death midwife Naila Francis for a writing workshop to connect to your grief on the page and learn to meet it with more compassion and care. This session will include a brief grounding exercise, guided writing prompts, and (optional) group sharing. Please bring a journal and something to write with.
