WHAT IF THE WAY GRIEF DESTABILIZES & DECOMPOSES US IS ALSO A CREATIVE PROCESS?

Structure for Grief Studios*:

  • Welcome & Grounding

  • Small group discussion around a particular theme, tarot card, plant, or text related to grief

  • Intention Setting for your creative practice

  • Creative Exploration/Studio time: Undirected, parallel play/creative exploration using whatever mediums/materials you feel called to, with the understanding that all of life can be lived as art, and that our artmaking gets to be a practice of attunement to ourselves and the world around us. Studio time can include anything from painting, collaging, dusting off your apothecary shelves, making tea, making music, rearranging your room, casting a spell, cooking a meal, or simply laying down and allowing yourself to rest as a creative practice…

  • Reflection: Set aside time to free-write/reflect on your creative process, and witness and dialogue with your own art/creative process as if it were animate and speaking to you.

  • Reflection/Witness Writing: Set aside time to free-write/reflect on your creative process, and witness and dialogue with your own art/creative process as if it were animate and speaking to you.

  • Reading Witness Writing: Time to read aloud our witness writing with one another, without the intentions to critique or comment or discuss. Here we are simply in the magic of witness - hearing ourselves speak aloud our witness writing, feeling ourselves be heard and received by one another.

  • Closing✨

  • Optional Debrief: After we close our ritual studio space, there will be an option to stay back and spend 15-20 minutes debriefing and discussing about your experiences of this process!💗

*This structure is adapted from the lineage of the Jewish Studio Process, whose two year Creative Facilitator Training Fellowship I am currently in and deeply grateful for!

Sessions (not including break out rooms!) will be recorded for those unable to make them live ✨
