Too often, our culture freezes in the face of grief. We’re told to master five steps, move through milestones, and muscle through to the other side. What if we don’t have to arrive buttoned up and whole? In this interactive workshop, you’ll explore how self-compassion can help us live more fully after loss. Together, we’ll draw from the wisdom of other grief writers.

Learning Goals

• Explore how self-compassion helps us integrate grief into life after loss
• Reflect on where we get stuck when offering compassion to our grief experiences
• Create new mantras to use when the suffering becomes overwhelming

You’ll embark on exercises of free-writing and poetry to explore new ways to honor our pain, our healing, and ourselves as we carry on. Designed for writers of all skill levels. Sense of humor welcome. All live attendees will receive a certificate of attendance.
