Poetic Elegies: Flowing & Writing Through Grief with Sarah Alayne Martin
Join us on December 1st at 6:30 PM ET for a special Pop-Up Workshop with poet and healing practitioner, Sarah Alayne Martin! Please note that this workshop registration is through our new community space. (Creating a Mission Belonging Circle account is required.)
RSVP HERE (LIMITED SPACES AVAILABLE)
As autumn releases its last leaves, we gather to honor what wants to fall away within. Through yoga Nidra’s deep rest and the luminous words of poets Ross Gay, Nikki Finney, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Danez Smith, we’ll write in and through the grief. Together, we’ll explore how grief can hold gratitude, how loss can transform us, and how the radical act of naming what we carry can help us set it down. No experience with yoga or poetry necessary; Just bring what you’re ready to let go and discover what wants to compost on the page.
