If you are expe­ri­enc­ing the loss of a loved one to death, or are going through a divorce or rela­tion­ship break-up, you may be expe­ri­enc­ing a long list of phys­i­cal, emo­tional and spir­i­tual con­cerns. The good news is that through the prac­tice of gen­tle yoga, medi­a­tion and jour­nal­ing, you can learn to cope with your loss and develop a new level of self-awareness that will con­tribute to your healing.

This day-long heal­ing work­shop will help you begin to:

• Release pain and ten­sion caused by grief and stress.
• Boost your immune sys­tem and reverse the effects of the fight-or-flight stress response.
• Calm the seem­ingly end­less cycle of painful and neg­a­tive thoughts that are com­mon after the death of a loved one.
• Recon­struct your shat­tered self image and rede­fine life after the loss.
• Learn to cope with life with­out their loved one.
• Develop com­pas­sion for your­self and all beings.

You are no longer who you were before your loss, but you can ben­e­fit from “post-traumatic growth,” strength­en­ing you con­nec­tion to your inner wis­dom and learn­ing from your life after loss.

The gen­tle yoga prac­tice in this grief retreat is suit­able to those new to yoga and moves at a slow pace. Jour­nal­ing will help you reflect on your present moment expe­ri­ence and begin to make mean­ing from the loss. Med­i­ta­tion will teach you to focus you mind and find the space between your thoughts.

Con­nect­ing with oth­ers who are expe­ri­enc­ing grief will offer you sup­port and com­mu­nity that will help you open your heart and begin to expe­ri­ence the heal­ing effects of compassion.
