What to expect:
Learn about metabolizing your grief through sound, movement, storytelling, and community. Take home a new tool with Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT). Experience the support of Reiki; Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique where practitioners place hands lightly on or just above the body to promote deep relaxation, lowering heart rate, and reducing anxiety.
1st hour: build a blanket fort with your fellow grievers and go through the storytelling of your loss; share where you are at in your grief journey and what/who/where you are grieving. And an introduction into EFT as a grief support tool to ground into the space and the meditation.
2nd hour: 40 minute guided meditation on releasing grief led by Adrianna; as James, our reiki practitioner moves to support participants individually while people relax and release sounds or movement they feel will help their grief release.
Last 20 minutes: debrief as much or as little as you like about your experience, and comfort yourself with tea or hot chocolate.
