Blooming through Grief: a 12-week experience 

Dance, burn & unfold into reverence.

**Next Session Starting Late Spring**

When we experience loss, we grieve — and grieving is a natural & necessary piece of our evolutionary cycles.

But grief is a multi-facted experience — not a singular sensation of pain. There are subtleties, tensions and gray zones — polarities of abundance, and anguish.

 Expressing your unique experience of grief can be freeing, and still trigger fear. It can be invigorating, and still be intensely sad. 

My goal is to help you experience the full spectrum of grief — from poignant longing to piercing joy, and every point along the spiral. Because the privilege of being alive is experiencing ALL of it. And that is a cause for celebration.

Blooming through Grief is a healing hybrid of two one-day retreats (with fireside rituals, yummy soup, sharing) at my tranquil home in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin on a private river channel of Oconomowoc Lake, guided at-home exercises emailed weekly, and twice-weekly drop-in support calls (one day; one evening) to maintain your healing momentum between retreats. You’ll also receive a 1-on-1 Stargazer Session, and a print copy of my latest book, Flowering Wisdom: Inspiring Thoughts on Life, Love & Blooming Big.

Throughout the 12-week experience, there will be invitations to complementary events & experiences, to support your explorations at home. Prepare to enjoy impromptu river walks, photography & intuitive art workshops, flower-centered adventures, ceremonial fire circles, and other opportunities to connect, celebrate and revel in the present moment.

Blooming through Grief is not a substitute for clinical counseling or psychotherapy, nor is it a “support group” in the traditional sense. It is a circle of creative souls in transition, who are determined to experience the fullness and richness of grief, without constriction or judgement — and channel their lived experience into higher forms of creative expression, forgiveness, and freedom.

Blooming through Grief begins with a heart-opening ceremony in late spring 2012.

This healing experience is limited to 12 participants.

Investment for this holistic 12-week program is offered in the spirit of service, so I have set the exchange at the lowest price I can — $450 USD, less than $40 per week for this holistic experience. (Payment plans are available by request.) Your place will not be confirmed until your payment has been received. Once paid, your purchase is non-refundable.

Your investment includes:

  • 2 one-day retreats (at the start and end of the program, dates TBD, 9 am-5 pm, yummy meals and snacks included) at my home in Oconomowoc Lake
  • 12 modules of weekly at-home exercises and resources sent by email each Sunday; short reminders & encouragements are sent on Wednesday and Friday, too.
  • 2 two hour-long drop-in support calls each week (Wednesday, noon CST, Thursday, 8 pm CST - note: these times might shift depending on the needs of the group) for keeping the momentum and gaining support
  • 1 one-on-one Stargazer Healing session in-person or over the phone ($115 value)
  • a signed copy of my book, Flowering Wisdom: Inspiring Thoughts on Life, Love and Blooming Big
  • other goodies — but these are surprises. :)
