What to Expect:

  • Opening reflections and grounding from the facilitators

  • Guided hand-building of small ritual objects (such as candle holders or water vessels)

  • Personalized ritual design session, inspired by ancient iconography

  • Gentle check-ins and guidance throughout the workshop

  • All workshop supplies and tools included

  • This is not a therapy session. It is workshop in a supportive creative space where making becomes a way to witness and hold  what is heavy.

Ritual Design component 

  • Participants will be invited to use iconography for inspiration, noticing what symbols they are drawn to and what it sparks in the process of making. 

  • Participants will have dedicated time to work with facilitator Jen to help shape a simple, personal ritual connected to their object.

For this workshop, we define ritual as intention + deep presence + meaning making. This is for anyone that knows the pangs of grieving, anyone looking to make sense of the confusion and be with great mystery. Rituals may involve light, water, placement, or repetition and are designed to be carried forward beyond the workshop.
