Crushed Velvet
A Grief Playshop for Beginners & Badasses
Grief asks for space.
Not to be fixed.
Not to be rushed.
Just to be met.
Crushed Velvet: A Grief Playshop for Beginners & Badasses is an invitation to be met in what you’ve been carrying (whether that’s heartbreak, loss, transition, or the quiet grief that doesn’t always have a name). This is a place where your grief is welcome exactly as it is, without explanation or comparison. Come spend some tender time with your darkness.
What to Expect
For anyone who wants to dedicate a spacious four-hour window to go deeper with grief. All forms of grief are welcome here: big or small, fresh or longstanding, clear or complicated.
What This Workshop Is
Step into a gentle, day-long-feeling journey where grief moves from heavy to held and from lonely to connected. Together, we’ll explore what it’s like to be with grief in ways that are human, curious, and kind.
What We’ll Do Together
We’ll move at an easeful pace by honoring our nervous systems, taking breaks, and creating together through:
Guided ritual, storytelling, and reflection
Art and music
Gentle movement
Community altar
What You’ll Leave With
A felt sense of being held and witnessed. More spaciousness in your body. A deeper connection to yourself and others. More capacity to tend to your grief with clarity and confidence.
