Nature Immersion for Grief
Saturday, June 1, 12 pm - 2 pm at MEND Grief Sanctuary
Loss impacts us in so many ways. We feel grief from loss in our body, our mind, and our heart. Yoga can aid in easing some of the symptoms of grief by helping unite the body, breath, and heart.
Please join us in person at the Center for Grief & Loss for this workshop. We will share information about yoga including how and why it can help ease grief.
Important things to note:
Some of the paths that we may walk are narrow and could involve moderate hills.
Because we will be outside and safely distanced, this activity may not be suitable for participants who are hard of hearing.
What is Nature Immersion or “Forest Bathing”? Inspired by Japanese practice shinrin-yoku (a.k.a forest bathing or forest therapy), you will take part in a multi-sensory session. The instructor will encourage you to experience the sounds of rustling branches, the feeling of gentle winds, and the sights of summer sunshine. Surrounded by natural beauty, you will take time to notice the details and find comfort in the simple restorative power of nature. Studies have shown immersion in the outdoors is a proven way to reduce stress hormone production, boost the immune system, and lower blood pressure; all of which help in your healing process.
What is Mend? Mend is a healing sanctuary set in 30 acres of wild woods, rolling pastures, and spring-fed ponds just south of the Twin Cities. A place for respite and remembering, Mend offers the opportunity to reconnect with the deep wisdom of the natural world and restore body, spirit, and mind.

Outdoor Labyrinth Walk and Grief Writing
July 12, 2024 from 9 am - 11 am, $55 registration
Embark on a journey through an outdoor labyrinth walk and grief writing session, where nature and introspection intertwine to facilitate healing. As you navigate the winding paths of the outdoor labyrinth, surrounded by the soothing sounds of rustling leaves and birdsong, allow the meditative process to guide you through stages of grief and reflection. The labyrinth, with its symbolic twists and turns, becomes a metaphor for the twists and turns of your emotional landscape.
Following the labyrinth walk, engage in a cathartic guided grief writing session, to express thoughts and process emotions. Amidst the outdoor setting, find solace in the act of putting pen to paper, capturing the nuances of your grief journey. This holistic experience seamlessly combines the therapeutic benefits of nature, movement, and expressive writing, providing a space for contemplation, healing, and the embrace of emotional release.
