Grief & Gratitude Sound Circle

This 4-week circle will create space for a contemplative practice of noticing grief & gratitude. Contemplative practices strengthen our ability to sit with our experiences of loss and grief, as well as joy and gratitude. 

We’ll begin by using sound healing to intentionally slow down and allow our hearts and bodies to sink into our senses and connect with the souls of the beloved people who we would like to honor in our hearts. The vibration/energy of crystal singing bowls can be impactful both physically on the mind/body and energetically on the subtle energy bodies. Gentle attention will be given to the heart chakra of each person who attends to deepen your connection to the spirit of the person who you would like to honor. 

Each week's sound healing will be inspired by a Gratitude Blooming card theme.

Nov. 19: SORROW  

Nov. 26: REMEMBRANCE

Dec. 3: IMPERMANENCE

Dec. 10: HEALING

We will then transition into a group gratitude practice to express our remembrance for beloved souls. 

This will be a safe and sacred space through sound healing and nature inspiration.
