Winter Solstice Grief Ritual
“Embrace your grief. From there your soul will grow.” “ Carl Jung
Join Audra, psychotherapist, meditation and yoga teacher and her long time friend and licensed massage therapist, holistic esthetician, and space creator, Kim Legler, for a winter grief and intention setting ritual. We will use the elements of fire and water, as well as your own words and imagination to embrace what has been lost, to face our lives, and respond to difficult times with kindness and compassion.
Expect to sauna, cold plunge, journal, pour water over the rocks, and use fire to burn what needs to be burned (weather permitting). We will set intentions for the coming year, and honor those things that need to be named, witnessed and grieved.
Sunday December 15th 6-8pm
Held at a secret urban oasis in Milwaukie, Oregon just minutes from Elk Rock. Location to be given once you sign up.
Limited to 6 spots.
$100
Fire, Water, Words... Sweat.
To speak of sorrow
works upon it
moves it from it’s
crouched place barring
the way to and from the soul’s hall.
Denise Levertov
A note here on disenfranchised grief.
Many times we as humans believe that our loss is not enough to be honored. We think that someone else has lost more, so why would I need a ritual to help me process and be with the big feelings that are here? I would encourage you to give yourself the gift of a ritual process no matter how large or small the loss. Grief is grief, and we know as humans how to let it move through us if we let it.
