grief and joy gathering

What?

Most of us don’t have access to grieve, and many of us are scared to grieve in anticipation of falling apart. Even though we may not carve a grieving space outwardly, our body longs for it, and stores this longing as an implicit memory. This implicit memory ends up being the cause of suffering.

Inner Critic to inner nurturer

What?

most of us live with an inner critic that often hinders our life experiences. this workshop offers space for acknowledging, understanding, and responding to the inner critic and slowly transforming it into an inner nurturer. we’ll practice responding to the inner critic by offering s.l.o.w presence and engaging in contemplative somatic practices, dedicated rituals, meditation, and group work.

  • by engaging in a s.l.o.w presence framework, you will

  • understand who is the inner critic, and how to work with its intentions.

  • create an embodied katha (narrative/story) to a healthy vision of the inner critic- a nurturer
