🌿 WHAT IS YOUR CALLING? 

Grief is unlike any other pain. 

Maybe you’ve wrestled with it yourself, or maybe you’ve sat with others as they struggled through it. Loss has a way of turning the world inside out and upside down. It shatters hearts, challenges our identities and brings the strongest among us to our knees.

And yet.

You’ve also experienced something unfathomable—how people somehow keep going. How, even when it feels impossible, we slowly find ways to carry the love forward even as we have been crushed by the weight of the loss. How, over time, memories shift from sharp edges to something softer, deeper and often unexpected.

Maybe you wish someone had walked with you through your darkest days. Or maybe you feel called to show up for others now—with more compassion, more confidence, and more tools.

We’re not meant to do this alone.

Real healing takes time, support, and sometimes, a little guidance. And that’s exactly what we’re here to do.

💡 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Grief is not just an emotional experience—it lives in the body, shapes our identity, and asks us to surrender to something beyond the self. The Embodied Grief Educator Certification is a transformative 5 day program that rewires how we understand, process, and support grief by integrating:

• GRIEF & NONDUALITY – Exploring grief through presence, interconnection, and deep awareness
• EMBODIED HEALING – Working with grief in the body through movement, breathwork, and somatic awareness
• SHADOW WORK – Exploring Jungian archetypes and drawing upon a variety of therapeutic tools from parts work to attachment theory
• ANCESTRAL HEALING – Honoring lineage grief and intergenerational healing
• CULTURAL & SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVES ON GRIEF – Death as transformation
