What we’re about
Hello and welcome!
This is a space for those looking for support and community after the loss.
A space to explore, embrace, and honour your grief, find meaning after loss, discover moments of quietness and calm, and reflect on what's been hiding inside.
For this, we will use various techniques: writing, guided reflection, visualization, breathwork, and more.
Please check out my regular free online sessions, talks and workshops. Feel free to join anytime.
About me
I'm Elena, a systemic coach and a grief specialist. I've lost many people I love and I know how devastating it can be. I'm honoured to support you on your grief journey and looking forward to meeting you.
Warmly,
Elena

--------------------Welcome to the Grief Compass!
If you've experienced loss, this space is for you.
Grief can feel very lonely and heavy. In many cases, we don't know where to get support and who to talk to. We long for moments of comfort and calm. We long for a community of those who understand, where we can be ourselves.
In these 40-minute, regular, and free sessions, we will embrace and honor our grief, together. For this, we'll explore different techniques, including guided reflection, journaling, visualization, breathwork, and more.
We will find quietness and relief and reflect on what's been hiding inside. Here you can also ask questions and connect with others who are also dealing with the pain of loss.
You are not alone in your grief.

20 min of a guided session: I'll offer a topic to explore and an exercise and you work on it individually with my guidance (no need to talk or share).
Cameras on or off, anonymously or with your name - any option is fine.
20 min (optional) questions and sharing.
I will open the room at 18:25 - please log in a few minutes before so that we can start on time.
One week we do more body-oriented exercises (grounding, visualization, breathwork), and the following week we do more cognitively-oriented exercises (learning about one aspect of grief, reflection, writing).
We rotate these two types of exercises, so you can choose whether you'd like to attend this week. Please check the event title to know what's coming this week.
How to prepare
No special preparation needed - come as you are!
However, it would be ideal to be in a quiet environment.
You may also want to have some paper and a pen to make notes.What other participants say
"I thought I was over grief and that I moved on. But by the second session, I realized that the feelings I hid in my heart came aloud through the kindness, guidance and light Elena shared with every one of us.
So I joined every session, knowing that it was something I needed to do for myself. I am so grateful that I learned that grief is the same for us all, we sometimes just don't know how to cope with it.
Join Elena's sessions if you want to know more about yourself, about the strength that lies within you, and if you are want to start living your life more truthfully." - Ioana
