This is part of the Nourishing Grief Retreat in collaboration with the Reimagine Festival.

Join us for a somatic exploration as we come to witness our body as an altar. A space where we place our hopes, losses, prayers and dreams. We will start with arriving into silent meditation, and be guided in gentle exploratory movement with time and space to fully step into the experience of our body's expression. The space is created to offer you utter expansiveness and freedom to be, just as you are and to witness what may come forth. We will close with gentle breath work and reflections to seal the practice.

This Retreat is offered from a multicultural perspective with teachers practicing their medicine with integrity and reverence to their culture, our retreat will be an experiential practice in :

• How to build connection to your ancestors, and your inner artist to create beauty and meaning from your personal and collective grief.

• How to connect to ancestral wisdom to cultivate daily rituals to nourish your grief.

• Build kinship with plant medicine, and reimagine rest, movement and breath as medicine for the soul.
