out of ashes

dancing with love, life and loss in grief

Loss and the grief that brings are, it seems, an intrinsic part of our ability to love. Although grief can be devastating we can also experience an incredible sense of vitality and joy in our love for what we have lost. Out of Ashes offers a space to include our individual and collective grief and explore the dance of these polarities.

We will dance to fully arrive in our bodies, awakening our ability to move with and through whatever is living in our grief. Giving ourselves over to the surrender grief calls for, making space for the desolation grief brings, dancing with it to find the creativity and the life waiting to grow from the ashes of our loss. Our dance will be supported and consolidated with creative expression and reflection.

Grief comes in many forms, it knows no boundaries and does not compare, it simply exists as part of our humanity. This workshop has shown time and again how we thrive when we come together in our grief and welcome its honesty. We then see its true colours as a force for connection, to each other and all that gives and supports life.

Whatever you bring, be it personal loss, heartbreak for the world, cultural or inherited grief, or a simple wish to engage with this landscape you are very welcome.

This workshop has grown out of Rosie’s experience of living with, and learning from grief. This very personal experience is the ground on which she nurtured her work over the years supporting individuals and groups to welcome the full hearted teaching of grief.
