The Poetic Path of Grief

6-week Zoom Series | Sundays, 11:00 AM–1:00 PM PT | Jan 25–Mar 8
Sliding scale: $240–$275

Grief is a path we all must walk, and in this class, we will journey through the Five Gates of Grief created by Francis Weller. Using poetry, writing prompts, nature-based invitations, and meditation, we will explore the deep and transformative process of grieving. Each week, we will focus on a different gate of grief, with opportunities to deepen our understanding and experience in between sessions through weekly invitations that guide and expand the work.

As we move through the gates, we will uncover the hidden gifts in our grief, offering space to grieve fully, and with intention. Our final class will bring the journey to completion with poetry, storytelling, and a ritual to help you claim your soul gifts and embrace life in a new, meaningful way.
