Specialty Workshop:
Grief, Grace Gratitude
Join Jodie Heffren (RN) + Edie Gudaitis on Saturday, November 15, 2025, for this intimate, supportive + transformational workshop.
Grief is a natural response to change and loss, yet often it is not talked about or processed, unless related to the death of a loved one – and even then – it can be pushed aside… creating more feelings of disconnection, pain and stress.
Over the course of this midday workshop, we’ll explore what grief is, how it impacts our life and our relationship with grief (stories / experiences).
Workshop Overview (sample of the day):
1. Open: Welcome circle, discussion + education session –> what is grief + how does it impacts our life?
2. Regulate: learn simple ways to cultivate safety in your body as you process grief
3. Release: guided breathwork + Contrast therapy (hot / cold immersion)
4. Nourish: warm, healthy light lunch
5. Integrate: forest meditation, journaling + closing circle
* warm light lunch provided – it is gluten free + vegan :)
– An empowering guide to navigate grief
– complimentary access to 1 of Edie’s online programs: RECHARGE, The RELEASE or Journey Through Grief
