Empty Out and Open Up: A grief ritual

In this lush half-day ritual, 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. 

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 ;) 

This ritual on the Full Moon in Capricorn 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. 

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.

You may experience: 

  • Feeling security and a soft place to land

  • A natural experience of deeper intimacy

  • 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 and resolution of old patterns dissolving

  • Acceptance and compassion for transition and change within a relationship 

  • The courage to state your needs, desires and boundaries in new or existing relationships

  • Transformation of 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. 

  • Coherent 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 (that’s how this works)

Over 3 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. 

The following Sunday, you have the opportunity to join an optional 60min integration call to share your experiences, challenges and celebrations, and be witnessed and held in your process.

This is a space for you if:

  • 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 a chore 

  • You’re grieving lost love in any wayFeeling too much or not enough

  • Struggled to face past or present hurt on your own

  • 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. 

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. 

My intention is that this ritual container supports us to find ways to be with our grief, feel a sense of belonging in a community of grief-tenders and lovers, build our capacity to feel love, joy and beauty alongside pain, and give us strength to advocate for ourselves and those we love as we walk our soul journey.
