Touch in with the open-hearted states of gratitude and awe. Drawing on Viktor Frankl’s wisdom, we will explore why these states matter, even when life feels unbelievably challenging. Gratitude and awe are not luxuries reserved for easier times. As Frankl understood, they are a key component of our very survival in the toughest of human situations.

Embracing what is beautiful about this season need not be at odds with our awareness of those who experience so much less. Taking a cue from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s exploration of the abundance and reciprocity of the natural world, we can lean into what is plentiful in a way that affirms community.

We will begin with a grounding chair yoga session led by Jenette to settle the body and open the mind. From that calm, present place, licensed therapist Anne Grenchus, LCSW, LICSW, MA (Philosophy), will guide the workshop. Light fare will be provided throughout.

Come ready to reflect, reconnect, and receive.

Slow down and soak in the sound at a special sound bath event at Sowilo Retreat, a peaceful setting made for rest and renewal.

A sound bath is a deeply relaxing, meditative experience where you lie back comfortably and let waves of sound wash over you. Instruments such as crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other resonant tones create layers of vibration and calming melody. There is nothing to do and nothing to figure out. You simply listen, breathe, and let yourself be supported by the sound.

What you may experience:

• A deep sense of calm and relaxation

• Ease in the body and a quieter, more focused mind

• Relief from stress and mental chatter

• A gentle shift out of “go mode” and into rest, helping regulate your nervous system

• A feeling of being refreshed, grounded, and restored

Think of it as a chance to reset before the holiday season kicks off. As the calendar fills with gatherings, travel, and to-do lists, this is an opportunity to pause, recharge, and bring more calm into the busy weeks ahead.

No experience is needed, and all are welcome. Just bring a cozy, comfortable spirit (and clothes) and settle in.

If you are grieving, your body may already have told you that letting go and moving on are not viable options, especially around holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. No matter how strong we are, our bodies have their own timeline for grief. That timeline is more like a pendulum than a race to a finish line.

We will begin this workshop with a short chair yoga session led by Jenette to help ground the body and prepare the mind for the work ahead. From that settled place, licensed therapist Anne Grenchus, LCSW, LICSW, MA (Philosophy), will guide us through the physiological processes of grief and explore what grief-informed nervous system support looks like throughout the holiday season. Light fare will be provided to keep your energy up throughout.

You do not have to navigate this alone, and you do not have to rush.
