Somatic Grief Pathways is a passion project. I believe that when grief is supported as a normal and natural part of being human, we can recover. I see the need for a more supportive culture around grief and death. This course is created to combine tools for connecting to the grieving process and discover the self in new ways through somatic awareness, expressive arts therapy and nature connection.
For over 25 years I have been learning to tend and mend grief in myself and others. This has been an ongoing and deeply meaningful place to be in process that is relational and I learn from each person. As grief is personal and unique to each of us. As well as universal and part of our wholeness.
Somatic Experiencing- Mind/body trauma healing for physical and emotional trauma, attachment, PTSD, and other forms of grief/loss trauma through regulating the nervous system by completing cycles of fight, flight and freeze.
Expressive Arts Therapy-Does not require artistic skill. We use art to transform and reflect emotion to bring the process onto paper to gain perspective. A playful and compassionate approach to self-reflection and insight. WE also use movement to help balance the mind/body.
Ecopsychology- Activities that engage our wholeness and balance physical. emotional, mental and spiritual health.
Energy Awareness-Engages the subtle body and chakras to soothe, clear, nourish, and nurture the mind, body, heart, and spirit.
Weekly Group meeting to create a grief supportive culture
I work with grief and loss to create a foundation of support in 1 on 1 sessions and groups to regulate the nervous system, provide tools for processing, and integration for greater capacity to hold life's beauty and challenges.
