Charlie Short, Sunday, August 30, 3:30-5PM, Tickets Sliding Scale: $20-$35

In honor of National Grief Awareness Day, join us for a guided EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) meditation, somatic release, and immersive sound bath created to support grief with reflection and self-compassion.

Whether from the loss of a loved person or animal, a relationship, your health, a home, a dream, or another life change, grief is something we all experience, yet it can feel deeply isolating. Gathering in shared space offers comfort, connection, and a gentle reminder of our shared humanity, without needing to explain or compare our experiences.

We'll begin with a guided EFT meditation to honor difficult emotions without judgment, ease emotional overwhelm, and encourage grounding, followed by a somatic release practice before settling into a restorative sound bath. Crystal singing bowls, harp, hypnotic percussion, and other soothing acoustic instruments create a purposeful and peaceful sonic journey to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and honor whatever is present.

Whether your loss is recent or years old, this experience is offered with care, compassion, and respect for your unique journey.

Wear comfortable clothes and bring whatever you need to be relaxed - blanket, pillow, eye mask, etc. We provide yoga mats but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.  Chairs and meditation cushions will also be available for those who wish to sit.  No experience needed, all are welcome and treasured.
