Join me for the evening in an intimate loving, sacred space and give yourself permission to grieve! To be heard, witnessed and honoured.

No matter how big or small, we’ve all experienced some form of loss in our lives. We most commonly associate loss with death. However, loss is also experienced as loss of an opportunity, a dream, financial changes, moving house, loss of a country, loss of innocence, divorce, illness, loss of friendship, relationships, loss of childhood - needing to grow up quickly, loss of parenting due to absent mother, father or both, not to mention the collective grief we are ALL experiencing! ALL Loss is welcome in the space!

Our natural reaction to any loss is grief, we are conditioned by our societies that grieving, or discussing grief is 'wrong' and 'taboo'. That we must simply just get on with it and ‘move on’. The problem with this is our losses accumulate. We shut down our hearts and overtime start to experience anxiety, sadness, depression and isolation.

In order for us to start the healing process, we have to start focusing and stepping into our heart space, by giving ourselves the freedom and permission to express, feel, share and release our grief.

Grief is an experience every single one of us will go though, we will all lose someone, something at some point in our lives So i ask you to let that truth bring us together so that we may have a better understanding of the grieving processes and of what it takes to truly support one another in loss.

What to expect:

A small intimate sacred circle, discussing what grief is, the core emotions of grief, bypassing of grief..

Followed by a 5 minute meditation to ground into the space, followed by two rounds of sharing. The first will be a small and brief introduction of our names and an ice breaker, followed by the second sharing where we can fully go into our hearts, and open up and express, release our losses to feel heard, witnessed and honoured in community. I will be guiding you along the way step by step of how the sharing will take place.

There will be a short 5 minute body movement/shaking/dance to release the energy out of the body. Followed by cultivating grief into love and how we can integrate that into our lives. You will be asked to prepare or bring something for this part, as it's part of the integration. It could be a photo, mementoes, a poem, a song, one word, you could sit in silence, a drawing, an object, a short memory, a stone. A positive insight to your loss. Anything meaningful to you. (don't think about it too much). A representation of your love. (optional)

To end i will guide you into a sound meditation using various instruments, re connecting you back with your loss, and grounding you back into your body.

I look forward to connecting with you all, and holding space for and with you. Email me for any questions: hello@hanaelrais.com. or send me a DM on Instagram: @love.hanax, you can view some of my work in regards to grief on there.

Love always,
