Tending to Grief Art Circle

Registration is now open for our Grief Tending Art Circles staring this Sunday 1/24 at 4pm ET and every other Sunday through Feb!

​

​
You can register here, donations are much appreciated and can be made through venmo @gazitchayankosi.

Come join us for a time of tending to and through our grief through creative expression, tending to grief is allowing our nervous system to acknowledge the loss which keeps us in defense and survival states and through that acknowledgment allowing our grief to alchemize back into life, creation and possibility.

“Let the dark come home to the light.” ― Kerry K

Apparently there is a "crack in the magnetic field" so this is as brutiful (brutal and beautiful) a time as ever to come back to our grief.

In times like these I come back to Victor Frankl's book Man's Search for Meaning, it feels like the most honest voice, a person who survived a concentration camp, his voice feels most trustworthy, easier to listen to than some "the universe has your back" message, the quote that is holding me today is "what is to give light must endure burning."

So as we burn together on this planet, the two things that feel possible are grief and art. We will sit in our grief, not trying to push it away or resolve it, but allowing ourselves to be in it together and when it doesn't make sense we will create.

It could be collaging with old magazines, or sewing a scrap of fabric, you don't need any fancy supplies, a piece of junk mail and a pen, maybe some scissors and glue or an old pairless sock and a needle and thread, we will grieve and we will create.

Feel life is too overwhelming to even take care of daily needs? Struggling with suicidal thinking or self harm urges? I cannot recommend any modality more than DBT. I have found a legitimate DBT resource that offers online live classes with replay available for the very low price of $19/month!! You can even try it out for a week for free! I have no affiliation with them, I've been taking my classes through DBT Path for the past decade and while I adore them and think they are the best DBT class money can buy, I know there are people who are not able to or ready to invest that much so I was thrilled when I came across Jones Mindful Living. Most cities have DBT classes that are covered by insurance. If you want help finding a DBT resource, please email me and I'd love to support you in finding something that is a good fit for you.

love you! xo, z
