Details

This space will focus on illuminating the five gates of grief, as taught by one of the foremost authorities in this field—Francis Weller supported with Restorative Yoga

The 5 Gates of Grief

  1. All That We Love We Will Lose
    The first Gate of Grief serves as a reminder that change is an inevitable part of life.

  2. The Places That Did Not Receive Love
    The second Gate invites us to reflect on places within ourselves that may have been neglected or rejected.

  3. The Sorrows of the World
    The third Gate encourages us to connect with the global causes of suffering that affect us all.

  4. What We Expected but Did Not Receive
    The fourth Gate compels us to confront our disappointments and the loss of dreams.

  5. Ancestral Grief
    The fifth Gate helps us to acknowledge the pain we carry from those who came before us.

Many people fear confronting their grief, but within this exploration lies the potential for healing. Creating a supportive community to address grief and soul loss promotes self-compassion, forgiveness, and the integration of our fragmented selves. A space where we can breathe life back into our hearts and move toward a place of fulfillment and wholeness.

In the act of grief tending, we not only honour our own experiences but also create a compassionate space for others. Embark on this journey with others to illuminate the path toward healing and rediscovery of our souls discordant parts
