Grief Work is Soul Work

An exploration of how we need to find ways to safely release our grief in order to have an enlivened Soul -filled, Self-Led response to the world. "The sacred ground of grief …shakes us and breaks us open to depths of the soul we could not imagine. Grief offers a wild alchemy, transmutes suffering into fertile ground. We are made real and tangible by the experience of sorrow. …We are stripped of excess and revealed as human in our times of grief. Grief ripens us, pulls up from the depths of our souls what is most authentic in our beings.” Francis Weller The Wild Edge of Sorrow, Rituals for Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief. P8.

What is Eco Soul Therapy?

In eco soul therapy we explore the parts of your own inner ecosystem AND the outer ecosystem that you live in (relationship, family, work, community, society, earth). The focus will be on encouraging you to listen deeply to your own inner wisdom, your Soul / Self, to tend to your individual and the collective, societal and ancestral wounded and protective parts, and to form secure attachments to your Soul/Self, others and to something larger, be that Earth or the Great Mystery.
