In the Heart of Grief
A Soulful Gathering for Anyone Carrying Loss — Five Things Nobody Told you About Grief and to Feel Less Alone in it.
July 1 | 8:00-9:30AM AEST
Nobody told you it would feel like this
Grief can be deeply isolating in a world that does not always know how to speak the language of loss.
On the outside, your life looks functional, perhaps even seamless. You answer the emails, you make the dinner, and you tell the people who ask that you are doing okay. But underneath you may feel exhausted, foggy, lonely, tender, numb, or quietly overwhelmed by the pressure to “get back to normal".
What if the exhaustion you feel is your grief looking for a place to go?
We are gathering for a different kind of conversation, this is a gentle, grief-literate sanctuary where your losses can be honoured, your body can soften, and you can remember, in community, that your grief is a story that deserves to be witnessed.
Grief does not have to be heavy. When it is witnessed, moved and held in community, something unexpected happens. It becomes lighter. More human. Sometimes even beautiful.
You belong in this circle if:
You are grieving a loss
A death, relationship ending, diagnosis, identity shift, sudden transition, old wound or something you still struggle to name.
You are tired of being strong
You have been holding it all together for everyone else. You are tired of pretending you are okay. You too want a space to be held and heard.
You feel lonely in your grief
You feel lonely in your grief, even around people who love you. You may worry your grief is too much, too old, too complicated or even hard to explain.
Your body is feeling all of it
You feel it physically — the heaviness, the tightness, the numbness, the restlessness, the sense that your body is holding something your words have never been able to express.
What you'll gently be guided through
In our 90 minutes together, we will open a safe, soulful space for your grief to be held with the love and respect it deserves.
Language for Your Loss: You will be offered words for the complex feelings grief can bring, so your experience feels less confusing and less wrong. Here you will honour your unique loss journey.
Gentle Somatic Release: You will be guided through simple, accessible body based practices to help soften the physical weight of grief. Transform heaviness into a new kind of aliveness.
Your Unique Loss Journey: We will walk through five things you wish someone had told you and that may change the way you understand grief. They may lighten the weight you carry by the time you leave.
Shared Presence: You will sit with others who understand that grief is not something to get over but something to be held with love.
A Clear Pathway: You will leave the evening knowing exactly how to safely continue the deep integration we begin on this event without rushing or forcing your healing. You'll feel held and supported long after our gathering.
Your Hosts
We are Tash and Mariana — grief educators, somatic practitioners and certified coaches. And we are grievers, just like you.
We built SoulWork from a deep knowing that grief deserves more than the world currently offers it.
A space where grief is honoured as the love story it is, embraced as part of our shared human experience, and held in community until we can slowly return to the fullness of life.
We are gathering on Zoom to sit together to tenderly honour our losses. We created this evening with profound love and intention, and we are so glad you found your way here.
