SUMMARY:Grief as a Sacred Invitation: A Poetry Experience at Kripalu
DESCRIPTION:Say yes to your whole heart.\nCome explore what the soul knows—how grief is an invitation to open; how heartbreak can foster courage, compassion, and communion; and how our greatest and smallest losses can nourish love, beauty, and inner spaciousness. “Grief isn’t an illness or mistake,” says Mirabai Starr. “It is a natural and sacred response to life’s inevitable losses. It is also a crucible for transformation.” Join poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer for a spacious retreat of silence, reading, conversing, writing, and optional sharing. It’s a chance to say yes to your whole heart and to live fully, a chance to co-create a circle of healing.\nRead more and reserve your spot here.\nIn this retreat, you will:\n*Learn tools to navigate grief and loss.\n*Explore creative writing to express your inner experience.\n*Share your experience (if desired) in a supportive community.\n*Discover opportunities for transformation through the grief process.\nThis retreat is not for you if: \n*You need crisis care or clinical support.\n*You want a practice that will “fix” your grief.\nThis retreat is not therapy nor a replacement for mental health care. It offers a courageous space to do soul work in community and explore your own unfolding.\n*\nYou would never ask for this grief,\nand yet and you swing open its gates,\nnot to rid yourself of the ache,\nbut to grant it full access,\nto know the grief completely,\nto let it rewrite you, remake you, rebirth you,\nto let it teach you what it means to be alive.\n—from “Condition” by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer \n
