Abstract
Grief is the response to any kind of loss. Reality is that grief doesn’t discriminate and touches each one of us at some point in our lives. Have you noticed that we all respond differently when grief strikes? Yes, it depends on what the grief and loss meant to you. But why is it that some people shut down and disconnect while others can’t focus during moments of crisis? How is it that some individuals are hyper-focused and productive in moments of grief? In this session, we explore the definition and understanding of grief from a holistic perspective. We will detail how to navigate grief using the Ayurvedic lens, so we are more compassionate to people’s experiences and even our own. We will talk about short-term and long-term relief from grief. We will practice breathwork, trauma-informed seated postures, and grounding as tools to empower our healing and our communities. We will engage in sharing stories and using writing prompts to find relief and peace.
