About the Course
“Most people are afraid of suffering. But suffering is a kind of mud to help the lotus flower of happiness grow. There can be no lotus flower without the mud.” -Thich Nhat Hanh
This gentle workshop holds space for participants to honor suffering in their body, mind and soul through compassionate connection with themselves and others.
What might it be like to set aside this time to be with yourself through writing and creative expression? To be with others through mindful sharing, movement, and meditation? Welcoming a bit of the underlying tension of grief within to rise and release often allows a bit more of the renewing beauty of enlivening joy that also lies within to come through.
May a sense of peace wash over you as you give yourself permission to honor your story and take skillful, exquisite care of your body. A "Yoga for Grief" home practice packet will be provided.
