The Alchemy of Grief
The alchemy of grief is the transformation of lead in our hearts into gold in our lives. The key to this work is giving ourselves permission to feel and understand the pain of loss. The Alchemy of Grief workshop is focused on processing and transmuting grief into gratitude. Understanding the gifts that grief offers allows us to release the pain and return to love. Participants will be equipped with tools to navigate, discuss, feel, and move through their grief around losses and change. In a safe and sacred space, attendees will learn to overcome survivor’s guilt and the perceived shame of tears, experience the emotional intelligence of grief, discover how our biggest losses can be our most powerful blessings, and find the light in the darkness of despair.
