Grief is one of the most profound and universal human experiences.
It touches us not only in moments of deep loss, but also in the subtle endings and disappointments woven through daily life. Whether in our relationships, changes in the world around us, or our own sense of impermanence, grief is never far away.
Grief can be both physically and emotionally painful. When we lack the skills to process grief, we may turn away from it – suppressing, distracting ourselves, or closing off this part of our emotional life. But when we soften our resistance and listen deeply, grief can become a teacher – revealing what we love, what we value, and how alive our hearts truly are.
Join insight meditation teacher Ulla Koenig for a Day of Practice to explore grief not as something to endure or avoid, but as a wise and transformative response to life’s losses. Through compassionate presence, reflections on the dynamics of grief and an opportunity to share with others, we’ll learn to meet grief as a natural and meaningful part of life.
Ulla invites us into a safe and compassionate space to gently unpack the emotional currents of loss, regret, resistance, and longing, and discover how grief can lead to insight, connection, and healing. Through guided meditation, reflective practices, and shared silence, this day offers a nourishing pause to honor what matters most and reconnect with the heart’s capacity for resilience.
