Grief Workshop: The Healing Rhythm of Grief — Why Oscillation Matters
Details
### About the Workshop
Grief moves like breath — contracting and expanding, pulling us into ache and then offering small moments of relief.
This rhythm isn’t a sign that something’s wrong; it’s how the body and brain adapt to loss.
In this 60-minute experiential workshop, we’ll explore what neuroscientist Mary-Frances O’Connor calls oscillation — the gentle movement between pain and restoration.
Through grounding, guided reflection, and paired exercises, you’ll experience this rhythm directly, learning how to work with grief rather than against it.
This is an embodied, relational practice space — a place to honor what hurts, make room for what soothes, and leave feeling a little more resourced in the space between the two.

### Why It Matters
Research shows that oscillation — moving between loss and restoration — helps the brain slowly rewire after loss. But tonight, we’ll experience it through connection, curiosity, and presence rather than science.
By allowing both grief and relief, you teach your nervous system safety again.

### A Note on Emotional Safety
Grief work can stir deep emotion.
These workshops are designed to be contained and supportive, but given the short time we have together, it’s important that you feel resourced and supported in your own grief process outside of this space.
