Newsletter June, 2025
Greetings and Welcome to My Newsletter!
I’m so happy to be connecting in this way—a platform to bring people together in community, reflection, and nervous system nourishment.
One of the things I value most is amplifying the work of others who are walking a similar path: thoughtful therapists, healing-centered guides, and creatives who offer something meaningful to the world. In each newsletter, I’ll be highlighting someone whose work I trust and admire, in the hope that these connections ripple outward in nourishing and supportive ways.
This month, I’m honored to share the powerful work of Silvia Stenitzer, who offers thoughtful, grounded group experiences. You can find more about her offerings in the Creative Co-Conspirators section below.
I’m also excited to announce an upcoming grief workshop I’ll be facilitating in collaboration with Heartspace New Mexico.
“How do you grieve?”
A client who was navigating a difficult break up, once said this should be a first (or maybe second or third) date question — and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.
Grief is at the center of life. It lives in every ending, every change, every version of ourselves we’ve had to let go of. And yet, so few of us were ever taught how to grieve. Was healthy grieving ever modeled for you? Were you given space for your own emotions, let alone shown how to be with others in theirs?
Grieving is a skill, one we acquire slowly, painfully, often by necessity. It involves naming, coping, and staying present with something we might rather avoid. How we grieve — or avoid grief — shapes everything: how we love, how we move through change, how we show up for ourselves and each other.
So imagine asking someone: “How do you grieve?”
What might we learn if they responded thoughtfully, with resourcing and self-awareness? That they’ve lived, loved, and learned how to tend to pain.
And if they said, “I haven’t had a lot of losses”?
That might tell us something too — not just about their experience, but about their relationship to emotional depth, risk, and the parts of themselves they may not yet have met.
Grief is not just about loss — it’s about living. And I believe learning to grieve well is one of the most courageous and connective things we can do.
If this resonates with you, I’d love to invite you to join me for Wholehearted Grief, an experiential support workshop where we’ll slow down, share, move, and tend to the parts of ourselves that carry sorrow. Whether you’re grieving something clear and named, or something quieter and harder to define, you are welcome.
Learn tools. Build confidence. You’re not meant to grieve alone.
