UNFURLING

The first third of the programme is centered around sharing your story, leaning into grief, and releasing challenging emotions. 

The Unfurling grief tending programme is founded in this first element of Bearing Witness, offering a brave container for you to be witnessed in your experience of grief and loss as you explore all emotions that surface. 

The second third of the programme focusses on embracing stillness through reflection, meditation, and connection to self. 

As the Unfurling journey continues the anchoring rituals turn towards more intentional, restful pauses with longer guided meditations, and mindfulness activities that connect to self, and evoke deeper reflections.

The final third of the programme is the Gentle Unfurling, which is rooted in embracing change, enhancing self-trust, and unfurling. 

This part of the programme is designed to help you navigate the changes that grief gives rise to, as you continue anchoring to self to enhance self-trust allowing you to gently unfurl from the contraction of grief.
