This six-week course gently leads you through a process to support you in moving through loss.

How often have we heard “let it go” or “move on with life”? The question is HOW? No one says HOW to “let it go” and sometimes that doesn’t even feel right. How can I let go of someone I love when they die?

Loss can be related death as well as loss of a job, loss of a relationship through breakup or divorce, loss of a way of living or being such as retirement or as we all experienced during the pandemic.
Everyone experiences loss from the moment we are born and we lose the security of the womb and through the different events in our lives. Why do some events seem to break us while we were able to move through others that may seem even bigger?

As we move through life and experience little and large losses and everything in between, some of these get processed and others not as much or not at all. They each take a toll and we carry them around with us. They weigh us down until we are so burdened that we find it difficult to enjoy life as we once did and the world just seems less vibrant and less colorful.

This six-week course leads you through an exploration with sharing of knowledge and discovery of the deeper truths that are keeping you stuck in grief and unable to move forward. The course consists of one-hour weekly class time and approximately an hour of homework to be completed each week. The homework involves some reading, introspection exercises and journalling. Classes have discussion of ideas and sharing of experiences.

My personal experience with the grief course was profound. I was healing from a divorce, a layoff and deaths that happened in a span of several months. My healing journey took me through therapy and many deep shadow work workshops. I was on a mission to heal and was relentless. When I came across the grief workshop, I immediately signed up. I was determined to get to the bottom of everything that I felt was wrong in my life. What I learned was a different and fuller understanding of what self-love really is. I came to recognize that my relentless drive from one workshop to another was definitely tough love and perhaps there were gentler ways of loving myself. What also shifted was my relationship with my mom which had been confrontational since my teenage years. This course led to creating a new relationship with my mom that is filled with respect, boundaries and love, so much so that I was able to be her caretaker during her multiple month-long recovery from surgery.

If you are ready to shift the stuckness in your life so that you can be open to the possibilities for life to have joy, laughter and peace again, then join me on this journey through the deep river of the soul.
