Falling Open: Grief, Body, Belonging (Presented by The Lantern)

Falling Open: Grief, Body, Belonging
Facilitated by Sandra and Mags, Somatic Grief Practitioners

Grief doesn’t just break our hearts. It unsettles the very systems we use to make sense of the world. This workshop offers a guided path through that disruption, weaving reflection, gentle yoga, and creative practice to help participants move from managing grief to integrating it.

Across three parts, the group will explore the split between intellect and body, examine how control becomes a coping strategy, and practice letting the body lead through movement and creative expression. This will be a choice of freewriting, drawing, paired sharing with no fixing, no advice, just presence. The session closes with a group ritual and reflection on what openness might look like going forward.

Expect a mix of stillness and movement, solitude and shared witnessing. No art or yoga experience needed — just a willingness to be with what’s there.
