​Heart Art Healing and Kim Varner join together to invite you to this grief and art circle. In this circle we will combine group sharing and artistic expression as a way to move and feel into the grief we all carry every day. There will be time for group shares, song, and working on your own grief art journal page while we listen to Ahlay Blakely’s new WAILS: Songs for Grief album. 

 

We carry grief with us every day: grief over lost loved ones or pets, major life transitions, diagnosis, parts of ourselves that hold shame or guilt, world events, climate changes, and cultural loss to name a few forms. As humans, we were born to feel and process our feelings in community, with support of the village at our back for these major life sorrows, but in our modern society we may feel and expectation to do it alone or suppress it. This can lead to anxiety, depression, illness and isolation.  Doing this work together allows us to connect our hearts and be witnessed in our deepest depths. It allows us to move this energy and make space for joy, playfulness, and gratitude.
