About your trip

We often associate grief with major loss—death or terminal illness. But more subtle forms of grief show up daily: missing a flight, not getting the job, noticing our aging bodies, leaving a loved one or pet, or choosing silence when we long to speak. These “small-g” griefs may seem insignificant, yet they accumulate. When unacknowledged, they can manifest physically—as migraines, back pain, stomach issues, depression or anxiety and illness as a whole—our bodies asking us to pause and listen. 

Our bodies are the map of all that we hold . Through mindful movement (yoga) we become aware of sensations that are locked in the body causing physical pains, a product of grief. Through breathwork and meditationship we explore retracing the source , and releasing what no longer serves. Throughout this weekend, we’ll explore the science of the body and the emotional terrain of grief, uncovering how tending to both helps us reconnect—with ourselves, with others, and with life itself.

Gopi, a trauma-informed yoga therapist, healer, and spiritual guide, joins with Patrice, a trauma, grief care, and resilience certified coach also trained in EMDR with Somatic release, to hold a safe and nurturing space. Together, they will gently guide you into vulnerable self-recognition—inviting grief and pain to surface, and supporting your return to wholeness through embodied presence and compassionate care.
