ABOUT THE CLASS:    Chambers of the Heart: Drawing out our Grief Description:  Join Lori as she invites you to hold and heal aspects of grief/loss you may be carrying. Grief comes in many forms. Yet our culture does not offer many avenues of expressing our grief before we are expected to "move on." Holding the grief inside can result in loss of life energy and pain. You may have grief over the death of a loved one, loss of a job, change in identity or your role in life, death of a pet, or even from letting go of a long held belief.  It may be a loss of innocence or loss of a relationship.  While grief/sorrow is part of life, we may fear that if we acknowledge it we will never return from it.  The truth is, our grief holds its own medicine, wisdom, and gifts.   In  this class, you will experience a guided meditation into the chambers of your heart to experience, express, and witness your grief, access insights about it, and perhaps discover how your can partner with your grief for greater peace.  (Note: while you may share your subject of grief, it is not required to participate.) Using art to express our emotions, experiences, and inner perceptions is an ancient practice used by our ancestors, as well as, a modern day tool for health and well-being.  We all have our own inner healer and inner wisdom and when we learn to access this inner language of the heart, we find that the courage, resiliency, and skills we need to heal and recover already live within us.  All you really need is a piece of printer paper and a pencil, so keep it simple if needed. However, color is powerful and getting away from a linear brain tool such as a pencil may help the process for you.  Therefore, using any simple art materials you may have on hand is recommended:  crayons, student grade oil or chalk pastels, watercolor, acrylic paint, or fat markers. Use paper, journal, or art surface appropriate for your choice of medium.  Using art for wellness is not about being an artist and it isn't therapy.  You are not expected to produce products nor  will you be analyzed.   Rather you will be guided and supported as you make your own inner journey that can lighten your spirit and inform your life. ​Investment: $25.00  Session is approximately 2 hrs.  This session is live only and will not be recorded.
