I am so excited to announce that I will be facilitating a grief workshop and 4-week series at Clear Path Counseling and Wellness.
~ Grief's Canvas 1-Day Workshop & 4-Week Series ~
Transforming Loss Through Art
Grief is not a linear process, but a journey with its own unique twists and turns. I am grateful to have the opportunity to support my fellow grievers and grieflings in a supportive gathering that combines art-making with processing grief.
Both the workshop and series are groups limited to 12.

If you are seeking a deeper dive into personal and collective grief, I lovingly invite you to Grief’s Canvas ~ A 4-Week Circle for Transforming Loss Through Art.
This 4-week series offers a deeper exploration of grief through the lens of art and creativity. Building on the foundation laid in the introductory workshop, we will delve into various art-making techniques and explore the works of artists who have grappled with loss throughout history. Each week will focus on a different aspect of grief, providing opportunities for self-discovery, emotional release, and connection with others. This is a space for all types of grief – past or present, tangible or intangible. No art experience is necessary; only an openness to exploring your inner world through creative expression. You will leave this series with a meaningful collection of your own artwork created during the 4 weeks, as well as a deeper understanding of your grief process, meaning-making, and your own resilience.
Week 1: Beginnings & Bearing Witness - creating a safe container, exploring grief as a journey.
Week 2: The Body Remembers - Physical manifestations of grief, connecting to the body’s wisdom.
Week 3: Finding Meaning and Cultivating Hope - finding meaning in loss.
Week 4: Communal Grief Ritual - Integrating grief, honoring the journey, and closing ritual.
Cost: $125 for all four of the series or $40 per individual workshop
❤️🔥 It is with immense gratitude that I share with you that I will be facilitating a three-part ancestral connection series at Clear Path Counseling and Wellness this summer 2025.
Tending the Flame:
Awakening Your Ancestral Connection - A 3-Part Series
This three-part series offers a gentle yet profound journey into the world of your ancestors. We will explore the deep and ongoing connection between our lives and their presence, discovering how understanding our lineage can bring a sense of belonging and solace.
Workshop 1 (June 14, 9:30 AM - 11 AM):
Gentle Introduction to Ancestral Connection
This first workshop serves as a gentle introduction to connecting with your ancestors. We will explore the idea of ancestral lineage and how our ancestors influence our lives. Through guided reflection and a simple honoring ritual, you'll learn how to acknowledge and begin to connect with your ancestors of blood. We will also introduce the concept of our four primary blood lineages (maternal grandmothers, maternal grandfathers, paternal grandmothers, paternal grandfathers) as a foundation for deeper exploration in the following workshops. This session will include introductory ancestral connection practices.
Workshop 2 (Saturday, July 12, 9:30 AM - 11 AM):
Connecting Through Creativity: An Experiential Workshop
Building upon our introductory session, this workshop will delve into the powerful role of creativity in connecting with your ancestors. Through simple guided art-making experiences, you will explore different ways to engage with your lineage through creative expression. This experiential session will help you tap into intuitive insights and foster a deeper, more embodied connection with your ancestors through various artistic mediums. No prior art experience is necessary – just a willingness to explore!
Workshop 3 (Saturday, August. 9, 9:30 AM - 11 AM):
Honoring Your Lineage: Building an Ancestor Altar
In our final workshop, we will focus on tangible ways to honor and connect with your ancestors through the creation of an ancestor altar. We will explore the many forms an ancestor altar can take and discuss meaningful objects and elements to include. You will learn practical steps and considerations for building an altar that resonates with your personal beliefs and intentions, creating a dedicated space for remembrance, connection, and receiving guidance.
Who is this series for?
We invite anyone seeking to gently and intentionally explore the concept of ancestral lineage connections and tune into the wisdom and guidance of their ancestors through ritual and creative expression to enroll in this series. No prior ancestral connection experience or art-making skills or abilities are required. Just a desire and curiosity about your ancestors and the potency of your creativity. All are welcome!
Cost: $30 per session or $75 for all three.
Both the workshop and series are groups limited to 12.
