Shamanic Griefwork looks at deep loss as a sacred wound that calls for spiritual tending with awareness and intention. It is a unique and mindful approach that applies ancient healing practices to release stuck grief and bring comfort and healing to those who have experienced grave loss or misfortune. |

Why is is mindful grieving important?Most of us experience grief at some point, when a deep loss leaves an incapacitating void in our lives. It may have been the death of a loved one, or some other thunderclap event that forever splits our lives into the times before and after it happened. Or, it may have been a torturously slow process, like a debilitating illness that robbed us of independence and identity, or witnessing a loved one’s slow descent into addiction. Sometimes it’s a less tangible loss that we are barely aware of, such as the loss of a childhood we never had because a parent lacked the capacity to love us well.
Society often does not allow us the time and space to grieve many of the big losses of life, and so we carry them within us, often disguised as physical or mental symptoms--heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, car accidents, an inexplicable series of misfortunes, depression, anxiety, or phobias, to name a few. These conditions can be important messages that grief is fighting for attention, crying out for healing. |
