Whether your painful experiences happened years in the past or you’re in the midst of them today, we’ve created a space for you to process and heal in your own way, at your own pace. As writer Naila Francis says, “There is an energy, a movement that grief stirs in our bodies… the body wants to move our grief. To go where it wants to go.” We’re here to move with you.
Dancer, yoga instructor, and art educator Bethany Narajka invites you to join for gentle movement, writing, and art-making. Each session is designed to give you practical tools for integrating your grief and finding new ways to live your life in fullness.
