Grief and Fear as Tools for
Transformation, A Meditation

This is an invitation into a quiet, intimate space, where you can be as you are. 

Centering the body as a site of knowledge and wisdom and inspired by the work of the late Joanna Macy’s The Work that Reconnects, together we’ll explore how our fear and grief can be transformed into service for the earth and our communities. 

We’ll make space for what feels heavy, including our tenderness for the world. Diving into our imagination we’ll explore: 

1. Where does my grief live in my body, and what does it reveal about what I love and belong to?

2. In nature, what system or organism most reflects how I want to respond to crisis—and why? (e.g., mycelium, mangroves, wolves, coral reefs)

3. What would it look like to serve the world from relationship and interdependence, rather than urgency and overwhelm?

Please bring a journal and listen to this guided meditation somewhere quiet and private, where you will not be interrupted.
