MOVING through GRIEF - Compassionate Support & Gentle Movement 

for whatever stage of the grieving process you're in.

​

April 2026 - Elohee Retreat Center in Sautee Nacoochee, GA (north-east Georgia) 

 

Sharing ​/ Grief Circles –

Guided by the work of David Kessler, grief expert and author of “Finding Meaning”​, and who says, ​"grief needs to be witnessed​", we'll take time to share our stories and​ w​itness each other’s grief​.

 

Mindful Self-Compassion –

Guided by the work of ​Dr. Kristen Neff, author of “Fierce Self-Compassion”, I'll share ​simple practices for offering kindness to yourself.

I'll sprinkle in mindfulness throughout the weekend as well, inspired by my favorite mindfulness teachers, Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and Thich Naht Hahn.

 

Movement –

Guided by the work of Bessel van der Kolk, author of “The Body Keeps the Score”,​ who recognizes that the energies of grief and trauma can get stuck in our bodies​, we'll move slowly and gently with yoga-inspired practices to help release ​these energies.

 

Music –

Listening to a sad song can have the same impact on us as a good cry​ and a good cry is healing as it releases stress and can elevate our mood.  We'll explore music as a method of expressing​ and releasing emotions. Participants are invited to bring/share a song that heals their heart.

 

Nature -

Nature is also known to be healing and Elohee Retreat Center has a variety of easy to navigate trails through beautiful and well kept woods.
