Podcast on Moving our Grief

“When we are unable to process grief, it only has one place to go — the body. It's time to let go of the belief that we shouldn't grieve. It’s time to shed tears.” Zach Bush

All grief is welcome to this post-holiday grief gathering.  
Grieving isn’t just exhausting—it’s a powerful way to free our life force and reconnect with our authentic selves. When we grieve together, as humans have done since ancient times, we release more than individual pain; we spark collective healing. In this shared process, we find support, connection, and joy, leaving us renewed and held as a community of authentic humans.

Movement is a powerful way to be with and honor our grief.  Hannah Kinderlehrer, Hakomi trained Rise and Thrive Holistic Coach and creator of Awaken the Dance, and Rebecca Luttrell, Psychotherapist, Grief Counselor and cohost of the All the Grief podcast, partner together to guide this beautiful opportunity to move with our grief.  In small community, we will share our hearts and our stories of grief as we gather resources for bearing what can feel unbearable.  Together we will co-create sacred space for the expression and honoring of grief in a culture that shies away from this inevitable human experience. 


SOMATIC TOOLKIT: embodied reslience for life


Online in February. Dates/times TBD

HERE

Our nervous systems shape how we experience and navigate the world through thoughts, emotions, health, digestion, our sense of safety and connection and more. Understanding and regulating ourselves build resilience, empowering us to respond to life’s challenges with compassion, choice, calm, and clarity.

Through a playful educational presentation and an experiential somatic toolkit that’s yours for life, you'll learn to identify your nervous system states with compassion and mindfulness. These tools will help you shift into a state where you can respond thoughtfully, take action, or nurture, discharge, and find calm effectively.

This 2-hour small group session offers practical, lifelong tools to support your well-being and resilience. You'll gain insights and techniques to help yourself and your loved ones navigate life with greater ease and balance.




PAST WORKSHOPS


Boundless Compassion, Healthy Boundaries


Saturday December 14th
9:30am to 12:30pm & 2pm to 5pm


Many of us long to make the world a better place, yet the demands of daily life and the relentless news cycle can overwhelm us, leading to feelings of isolation and limitation.

In this one-day workshop, we will grow our heart’s capacity to give and receive love, nourishment, joy, and effective care. Through experiential exercises and guided meditations, we will engage in compassion practice and learn the skills of attunement, grounding, co-regulation, recognizing triggers, healthy boundaries, and relational attunement. 

To engage with courage and compassion, we need to cultivate inner resources that allow us to confront suffering—both within ourselves and in the world. Many believe that an open heart makes us vulnerable to burnout or being taken advantage of, but true compassion, supported by healthy boundaries, is an active and empowering force! It offers us protection and effectiveness!

Come play, dance, engage in dialogue, and bask in a day of self-care and capacity building. No experience necessary. All abilities, ages, and identities are welcome. Dress comfortably and relaxed for meditation and movement. You are invited to bring an object to co-create a group altar.


winter solstice gathering

Saturday December 21st
5:30-8pm at
Ape Co. Boulder
SOLD OUT

Ritual can truly only be done in community, and ritual is the most ancient way of celebrating, honoring, offering, and cleansing what the season, the world, and our lives are asking of us.

By candlelit we will move, share, play, nourish, drop in deeply to the Earth, the darkness, each other, and ourselves. This evening will be cozy and sweet, and enlivening to the core!

The winter solstice is a celebration of rebirth and renewal, the promise of the sun returning after the longest night. It’s an invitation to move from a place of presence and reflection. We drop into coherence and alignment with the cycles of nature. And it’s a time to begin to hear the whisper of the seeds of new beginnings that will sprout and bloom during the spring equinox and summer solstice.
