We read excerpts from experimental, confessional, and auto-fiction writers and poets and begin to feel into words by writing in the present tense and moment. Each group consists of writing instruction and a creative prompt, a 15-minute auto-focused writing exercise, group sharing, and time and space for individual and group processing.

When Things Fall Apart Grief Group, Rachel Nagelberg

Examining Buddhist nun Pema Chodron’s When Things Fall Apart as a map to navigating the slipperiness of grief. Grief manifests in our bodies in all different shapes and sizes, can look like any and every emotion, thought, and/or sensation - can sneak up on us and overwhelm us in the moment before we even notice. Pema asks us, What happens when we invite in what we usually avoid?  This group is a safe space to show up with our grief and move a little closer towards it, instead of running away. Making friends with our own demons and their accompanying insecurity leads to a very simple, understated relaxation and joy, she writes. This group is a safe space to be with our grief as it's showing up, and an opportunity to, as a group, read through Pema's masterpiece on grief and loss, examining our own relationships to grief and learning how to stay with ourselves in every moment.
