Nurturing the Spirit: A Holistic Approach to Grief Through Ritual & Somatic Expression with Jess Lackey

Saturday, December 21st from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. | Total Participants : 10

Step into a space of healing and connection, where grief is honored as a vital part of our humanity. This workshop offers an invitation to turn toward your tenderness, guided by mindful practices, heartfelt expression and communal support. Rooted in time-honored rituals and enhanced by modern wellness techniques, it is designed to support your emotional and energetic well-being long after the ritual concludes.

What You’ll Experience:

  • Smoke Cleanse & Energy Clearing: Begin with a grounding ritual to cleanse and clear the mind, body, and spirit, aligning your energy and opening the pathway for connection and shared community.

  • Exploring Grief with Compassion: Gain clarity on what grief is, how it manifests, and how it shapes our lives, supported by real-life reflections and insights.

  • Setting Intentions: Establish group agreements to foster a nurturing, safe, and inclusive environment for personal exploration and collective growth.

  • Guided Meditation for Healing: Find calm and clarity in a guided meditation designed to help you connect with your emotions and embrace self-compassion.

  • Authentic Connection: Engage in meaningful practices to process grief through shared presence and connection with others.

  • The Healing Power of Creativity: Explore the therapeutic benefits of song, storytelling, and intuitive movement to express and release emotions authentically.

  • Creating an Altar: Create a communal grief altar—a sacred space for honoring life, loss, and all that exists in between.

As we honor grief, we honor love and life. As we sit with darkness, we welcome the light. This sacred gathering is a step toward healing, processing and giving permission to simply allow. Tending to our tender places in the shelter of community.

This workshop is perfect for those seeking a wellness-centered, holistic approach to navigating grief while fostering emotional balance and spiritual growth. Snacks will be available throughout the day for renewal. The pricing for this workshop is intentional, in an effort to ensure this sacred ceremony is accessible to all. If cost feels like a barrier, please contact Chakra.
