When the Holidays Feel Lonely...

Hosted by Sasha Soreff, Reimagine

When the Holidays Feel Lonely...
The holiday times can bring joy and connection. They can also be a time of quiet grief and deep loneliness. A communal gathering with movement expression to honor the complexity of this season.

Do the holidays bring with it a certain amount of heaviness and pressure? Maybe you are unexpectedly alone this season, maybe the aloneness is long familiar. Whether you are missing particular people or circumstances, or missing the experience of connection over time, this season can bring more loneliness.

With self directed (optional) movement, meditation, and thoughtful conversation, we'll explore what the holidays mean for us, acknowledge the loneliness, and mourn what has been absent in our lives.

Empathic conversation, rooted in the principles of Non-Violent Communication, invites us toward a compassionate understanding of our lived experiences; creative movement allows for the embodied expression of long-held feelings.

This union of empathy, embodiment, and expression brings us from our heads ("figuring it out" thinking, getting through an endless to do list) and into our hearts (knowing what we feel and need), which invites us into a deeper level of self-connection, insight and presence.

No prior movement experience is necessary, movement is optional and self-determined, and stillness is welcome.
