Integrating Grief and Loss

Grief is our normal and natural reaction to the loss of something special to us. Grief and stress are stored in our bodies. The intention is not to “get over” our grief, but to begin to process and integrate our grief. Join us for this workshop where we will explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors revealed through grief. We will relax in gentle restorative poses, learn effective breathing exercises, and reiki will be provided. We will end with a Shamanic Drum Journey to assist with the energetic movement and transformation of Grief through a Heart Healing Journey rooted in Gratitude. No yoga experience required. Everyone is welcome. Laurie Farmer, RYT 500, LICSW, ACHP-SW* Laurie has been practicing yoga for over 20 years, worked in hospice for 17 years, and has been teaching yoga for over 17 years.
