A NEW Model Workshop on Grief and Loss to support release of distressful feelings usingBreathwork, QiGong, Tai Chi and Yoga
Supporting the Energy of the BodyDuring the Grieving Process
The events in life that cause us sadness, loss and grief also cause profound changesin the body; physically, emotionally and energetically from loss of loved ones, relationships,health, jobs and more.

Western research has discovered that when people are grieving or depressed, the levelof T-cells (fighter immunity cells) in the body drops, thereby highlighting the strongcorrelation between feeling grief and an increased tendency to experience viral andbacterial infections, anxiety, anger and depression.
How we nurture ourselves, and How we process these emotions greatly impacts ourphysical and mental well-being during the grieving process. This workshop is for thoseinterested in learning how to alleviate the fall out of grief and loss on the body and soul.

Participants will learn a short series of gentle, yet powerful exercises to fostera sense of emotional and physical balance:
* simple acupressure techniques designed to reduce dispiritedness
* practices for changing the neurochemistry of the brain to promote serenity
* Breathwork, QiGong, Tai Chi and Yoga
