Empty Out and Open Up to Love
A group grief ritual to release romantic heartache and fall deeper in love
Sunday 21 April, 4:00pm - 6:00pm AEST, online
Perhaps the recent Aries/Libra eclipse season has pushed your heart wounds:
Struggled to face past or present hurt on your own
Feeling too much or not enough
Guarded your heart, or given up on the possibility of love
Felt a soul-deep yearning to be met in love, and at the same time, paralysing fear about evening acknowledging that desire, let alone opening up to experience it.
Felt shame or wrong for your need to be loved, and it feels like too much to ask that of anybody (reinforced by modern dating culture and patriarchal gender conditioning)
Meeting emotionally immature or unavailable people who reinforce a sense of unlovability.
The truth is, we are wired for connection and love, and yet to be open to it, to be seen and touched and loved, to be in love, can be terrifying, because we are confronted by our lack of control in the outcome... If I love you, there’s a possibility you might hurt me. And if we didn’t receive the emotional attunement we needed as children, or if we haven’t had experiences of repair, we can be left as adults feeling totally overwhelmed and unable to heal the heartache that snowballs with each ending.
The good news is, when we are met in our emotional experience with the presence of an attuned other, it is possible to release pain and resolve past hurts; it is possible to build capacity to be with our fear, build safety and trust, and expand into new, deeper and more loving horizons than we thought possible… speaking from experience ;) Together we’ll tend to hurt hearts, process lingering emotions from past relationships through grief ritual, and feel ready for fresh energy and new relationships into your life.
Aligned with the Jupiter-Uranus in Taurus conjunction, at the end of an Aries-Libra eclipse season which has pushed us to explore our individuality and interdependence, right before the final eclipse on the Full Moon in Scorpio - this is an opportunity to dive deep into our unconsciousness and shadow self, release anything that’s shaken loose, expand our capacity to love and open ourselves to new possibilities in relationships with others, while creating more safety and security in our relationship to ourselves. It’s an incredible time to release ancestral patterns, patriarchal conditioning, and connect with our heart’s desires.
This is for you if:
You’re freshly heartbroken
Your heartbreak happened a long time ago and you’re feeling stuck in grief
You’re exploring the possibility of openness, dipping your toe in after a long break;
You’re confronted by fear and unable to open up to love and new relationships
You’re in an existing relationship and hurt has built up over time, leading to resentment
Your relationship is in a transition space, dealing with change or illness
You’re struggling to come to terms with an ending, unable to face it on your own
Dating feels disappointing or pointless
You’re grieving lost love in any way
Come as you are - our meeting point is the willingness to let go, empty out, and open up to new possibilities of love and connection.
Over 2 hours, we’ll harness the power of collective intention, story and writing, movement, deep rest and collective care, working with ritual magic, energy and the nervous system for gentle and easeful healing and integration.
We’ll develop capacity to be with our painful and joyful emotions and sensations, deepen our inner connection and awareness, and to work with energy in an embodied way so that we experience easeful and effortless healing - not that it won’t be challenging at times, but that we experience healing as less striving and effort, more surrender and trust in our inner knowing.
Ritual results you might experience:
Security with self and a soft place to land
A natural experience of deeper intimacy
New ways to move through fear without overriding
Growing trust in your emotional needs being met
Readiness to date and relate from a place of curiosity, play, power and freedom
Fresh energy and perspective in your existing relationship
An embodied, felt sense awareness of old patterns dissolving and resolving
Acceptance and compassion for transition and change within a relationship
The courage to state your needs, desires and boundaries in new or existing relationships
Transform your relationship to yourself and the world around you
More alignment in other areas of your life and new opportunities showing up in unexpected places
A stronger sense of belonging, spiritual connection, lovingkindness, interdependence and trust in your process.
Coherence and alignment with soul and life purpose (how we do one thing is how we do everything)
Melt through grief into a deep ocean of soul and divine love
Feel more connection and oneness in community and nature
