In the afternoon, Investigate Dawn’s map of the Sea of Grief. I SEE YOU for the Soul guides you through a new framework of grief. Learn to trust yourself and how you feel. Discover why it can be a struggle to communicate with others, especially those closest to you.
Together, we will reflect on the terrains and navigation to promote our buoyancy and ability to return to shore.
We are sensual beings, designed to experience the world around us through touch, taste, smell, sight and sound. Even if not all these senses are functioning our bodies and souls are tethered by the senses we can engage. Some of the simplest acts become the most profound when it comes to reconnecting our souls to our bodies.
Engaging with people and nature in a welcoming and sacred space offers a powerful opportunity to reconnect with what feels nurturing and to see ourselves through the eyes of another. No agenda. No expectation. Only the gift of presence.
Please note, this is not a traditional grief support program. We will not be expecting or requiring you to share any details about your injury of grief. Much of our time together is in an educational format with invitations for facilitated private reflection.
