The intent of this workshop is to hold space for you as you write about someone you have loved and lost – friend, family, or anyone who had an impact on your life. Beyond simple remembrance, we will try to seek out and name the essence of the person, what was given and received through their presence, and what, perhaps, continues after their departure. I’ll also guide you through some simple somatic exercises that invite you to connect to your roots and make room for whatever’s in your heart.
If you are missing someone as the holiday season approaches, if you’d like to honor or deepen your connection to an important figure in your life, if you would like a gentle, grounded approach to opening your heart to the dead, this workshop is for you.
No writing experience is necessary, and you can write in whatever language suits you as long as you can understand the prompts in English. Reserve your spot using the registration form below. I hope you’ll join us.
