Grief is more than an emotional experience—it affects our entire being, from our brain to our body. In this insightful session with Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor, a leading grief researcher, you'll gain a deeper understanding of why grief feels so overwhelming and how it reshapes our sense of self.
Losing a child is an unimaginable experience that changes everything. In this deeply moving session, guest speaker Melissa Dlugolecki shares her personal journey of loss, healing, and transformation after the passing of her daughter, Layton. Through her story, you will discover how grief, love, and resilience intertwine, offering new insights into moving forward while honoring what was lost.
Losing a partner brings profound grief that can feel overwhelming and all-consuming. In this special session with polyvagal expert Deb Dana, discover how the nervous system plays a critical role in the grieving process and how understanding its responses can bring a sense of agency and healing.
Grief and loss are profound experiences that live within the body, often layered with memories, emotions, and physical sensations that can feel overwhelming. In this insightful session with Anne Connor, you’ll be guided through practical somatic tools to gently explore grief, move through it with greater ease, and reconnect with your sense of self.
Losing a pet is not just losing an animal—it’s losing a deep, unconditional connection. For many, pets provide security, comfort, and a unique form of attachment that can be stronger than some human relationships. The grief that follows their loss can be overwhelming and misunderstood by others.
In this special session with Dr. Shanina Halbert, a veterinary acupuncturist and end-of-life specialist, we explore the profound ways in which attachment styles shape how we process pet loss and how we can move through grief with greater awareness and compassion.
