[Virtual] Dancing Our Grief: The Halprin Life/Art Process

“You have turned my mourning into dancing” - Psalm 30:11

Register by Weds February 5.
Sliding Scale $0 - $80


Dancing our grief invites us into a conscious and creative relationship with our grief.
In this carefully constructed 3-hour workshop we will engage in the Halprin Life/Art Process as we move, draw and dance our grief. In this time we will learn new tools and new perspectives to help us embody and relate to our grief and mourning as an ever-evolving, alive, moving transformative process. We will draw our grief, move with our grief - EMBRACE our grief, rather than be TAKEN OVER by it.

When we consciously and artistically engage with our grief, we are able to dis-identify and relate to the experience of mourning as universal, as timeless, as beautiful, and as something much greater than our individual broken-heartedness. Our grief becomes an ocean, a cave, a rock, a weight of unbearable burden, or any other personal metaphor that we can embody as we discover the gifts of connecting deeply to it, to ourselves, and being withnessed by one another.

This is a recurring workshop offered quarterly. Due to the sensitive nature of the content, these workshops are not recorded and no photographs will be taken.

For this workshop we warmly welcome all who seek support in navigating grief at this time.  Multiple payment levels are offered to make this workshop accessible.. If you are able, please consider sponsoring others to attend through the “help another” option when selecting a ticket.


No prior experience in movement, art or writing is necessary.
