About the event
$25 Pop-up Healing Sanctuary: A little relief from Grief, during the holidays
The holidays are nipping at our heels and it’s time for celebration and unfortunately, reminders of those who won’t be with us.
It might be the first year without them, or it could be many years ago that we lost them. Perhaps it’s just the stress of the holidays and life.
If you need to find some peace for a couple of hours, this is THE place! A nice, safe, confidential place to just breath and “be” for 2 hours. You get to do as little or as much as you want. No pressure to engage.
We’ll be starting with a guided meditation to ground us and give us some relaxation. That’ll be around 20-30 minutes - We often get messages when we do these meditations.
We’ll be talking about what grief and loss is and why it impacts us; especially around holiday time.
We get to share the names of the ones we’ve lost and you’re encouraged to bring a photo or memento, to place in our “Circle of Love”. You’ll get a little heart to write the name of the loved one you’ve lost, and we bless the photos/mementos and the hearts with Reiki, and you can take them home to hang on the tree, or put them in a place that means the most to you…
Then we’ll talk about traditions and how we can build some new ones to honor our absent loved ones in a way that is comfortable for everyone.
Very importantly, we will talk about how we can care for ourselves and put on our own oxygen mask, first!
Bring a pillow/blanket if you wish to lie down and come ready to decompress for a couple of hours, in a safe and loving place.
