Shoka, grief in Sanskrit, is an experience we will all encounter in our lives at some point.
Join Ayurvedic practitioner, Anjali Deva, to explore GRIEF through an integrative lens, bridging Ayurvedic wisdom and lived experience. With each breath we take, our collective grief becomes more apparent. In this workshop, we will explore Ayurvedic tools, including food and herbs, to support healing while grieving; we will explore the role of community in healing and learn how we can better understand the often overwhelming grief process. This workshop is for anyone interested in learning how to support themselves or loved ones through grieving.
