“I believe it’s critical we do grief work in community. We need our grief to be witnessed and reflected back. We need to know we’re not alone. Spaces for collective grief are transformative…when I know I’m in space explicitly designed as a container to hold our grief, I can touch into it and find the richness there…” – Kazu Haga

Our grief lives in many spaces – within endings, across distances, in the transitions of our uncertain and chaotic world, in the quiet ache of things that didn’t turn out as we may have hoped. Some grief is visible, but much of it moves quietly beneath the surface, held in the body, carried in silence. In a world that often pushes us to hide these heartbreaks, this embodied storytelling playshop encourages us to lean into the complexity, expansiveness, and richness of our grief(s).

Through grounding practices, reflective writing, and doodling, we will explore the many shapes of our grief. We will bring to our page all that may feel tender or hard to say, and together we aim to discover how our creative practice can be a place to tend to ourselves.
This playshop centres care, choice, and consent.

Sharing is always optional. Whether your grief is recent or long-held, named or still unfolding, you are welcome.
