Grief in Motion with heart2heartnc

Two women in front of a variety of soothing instruments.

Grief in Motion is a unique, holistic, and body-centered workshop that explores the heartache and healing that often accompanies a journey of loss and change. All forms of grief are welcome here.

Do you know your grief? Can you recognize it - locate it - name it - be with it - release it. Are you curious what elements of grief are living within you?

Grief is a natural, and often painful response, to the death of something that has meaning in one's life. It is a container, a vessel, where our emotions gather. Emotions that arise in reaction to an experience of discomfort, suffering or pain - they gather in grief.

Our systems can be flooded from an acute experience of loss or change, as well as the collective grief of our communities and the wider world. Emotions stored in the body can affect the mind, body, and soul, and, if left unattended can overshadow our existence and impact our ability to interact with the world around us. This overwhelming amount of stress in the body and mind can cause inflammation related diseases, digestive problems, depression, anxiety, fatigue, pain, and overall physical and emotional discomfort.

Join us as we cultivate specific practices that help us find ease in our bodies and minds. Our time together includes guided movements taken from the Kundalini yoga tradition, breath-work, stillness, and conversation, plus live music and sound.

Movements are tailored to support the strong emotions associated with grief that we undergo in the body and the mind. We will explore prescriptive breathwork, which will help us relax physically and mentally, as well as restore the relaxation response in our central nervous system, to counter the effects of hyperarousal that can be brought on by grief.

This recalibration allows us to build new neural pathways to prevent our minds from falling into old patterns of physical and emotional pain. We will also include periods of stillness that allow for integration of the physical and emotional work. These sessions conclude with a voluntary opportunity to share for those who wish to do so.

heart2heart believes that these modalities of healing are important and accessible to all humans seeking to heal their sorrows and to remember their sacred path in life.
