This is an interactive talk exploring the many emotions that arise during the postpartum period. We will explore how grief shows up in the mind, body and spirit, and the transformational wisdom it holds. Grief does not have to be limited to physical death; it can exist alongside joy and is part of a holistic postpartum experience. Roshni will share how grief exploration, ancestral healing rituals and Ayurveda wisdom can create a nurturing experience for postpartum people.

We will collectively imagine what weaving this cocoon will be like rooted in Ayurveda wisdom and practice a guided ritual.
