The Art of Grief with Melissa Andrada

  • Arise Yoga 3229 Lakeshore Avenue Oakland, CA, 94610 United States (map)

Yoga. Writing. Sound Healing.

“Extraordinary grief is an expression of extraordinary love.”
-Joanne Cacciatore

Join yoga teacher, sound healer and studying LMFT music therapist Melissa Andrada (mel - they/them) alongside facilitator and science fiction writer Sol Garcia Jones (they/them) for a heart-warming day of grief and love.

Be held in community by those who speak the language of loss as the summer ends and fall grief season begins. Explore big feelings through reflective writing with grief poetry as prompts. Move with emotions through a gentle yoga flow and sound bath, with crystal bowls, chimes and singing.

15-min Welcome & Community Building
20-min: Reflective Writing
60-min: Gentle Flow & Sound Bath
25-min: Community Close & Tea Time

We honor all grief and all losses. This workshop is focused on the grief of the bereaved, aspiring to center families and individuals who tragically and unexpectedly lost a loved one. We aspire to create an equitable and inclusive space that especially honors the underserved needs of queer families and families of color.

May this practice support you in building authentic community and bringing your grief into everyday life.

We welcome the fullness of your humanity like Rumi’s Guest House. Come alone, come with a partner, friend or loved one. Come as you are. Bring an item to add to our grief altar.

Sliding Scale: $55, $65, $75 for individual workshop
