Growth from Grief
Grief is something we all experience; it's the natural reaction to loss. Grief is individual, and can be different for each loss you have.
Grieving is also something most people don't want to talk about! Well, we talk all about it here - the hard stuff but also the light stuff too.
We'll explore tools and techniques like yoga, meditation, ritual, journaling and more so you can begin to move from grief pain, heal, discover joy again and grow from your grief.
