Soft Ground
An 8-Week Grief Container for Those Who Are Ready to Feel
Join us in sacred space, not to fix but to feel.
Not to force, but to allow.
Aug. 6 - Sept. 24, 2025
There is no shortcut through sorrow.
But there is a way to walk with it that leads somewhere softer.
Soft Ground is a group for those who carry grief, even if on the surface the wound doesn’t feel like sadness.
It is a circle of care for those who feel deeply and want to heal intentionally.
For those who are ready to sit with their sorrow, tend to their complexity and honor their truth.
For those who have been told to move on…for those who have been pressured to fix it…for those who who have felt alone in their depth…
Come land on SOFT GROUND.
This is not a course, it is a sanctuary.
Here, on soft ground, grief is not a problem to solve - it is a companion to learn from.
A presence in the soul to listen to.
To grow through and find peace in.
We will move slowly and gently without rushing the process.
You can expect to be held in a small, intimate group where your grief is not too much…
Where it is welcome, wise and worthy of witness.
Pain carried alone can be heavy.
Pain carried together can be liberating.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
8 live weekly gatherings (75-90 minutes on Zoom)
Small group container - 6-8 participants to honor care and intimacy
Each session includes:
A themed reflection or inquiry to contain the week
A somatic, relational or creative practice (Journaling, trauma-informed breath work, storytelling, movement, touch, stillness, grounding, resourcing, etc)
Optional group sharing + witnessing
Gentle invitations + practices for between sessions (not required)
Each week will will explore grief somatically, relationally and verbally. While we will start each group with a reflection and some teachings, the group will have an experiential theme, focused primarily on real-time processing, resourcing, creative explorations and connecting to ourselves and others in and outside the container.
Weekly Themes:
Week 1: Opening The Door to Grief - naming what’s been buried, peeling back the layers and getting to the bottom, containing and grounding in grief
Week 2: The Myths We Were Told - Unlearning grief as we know it, learning to soften into its waves, building trust in cycles of grief
Week 3: The Body Knows - Feeling grief through sensation not just story, grief that bubbles up vs grief we “figure out”, locating, holding and comforting grief somatically
Week 4: The Sacred Mess - Anger, numbness, shame, guilt, anxiety, fear and other non-linear expression of grief, completing emotional cycles, coming to terms with the circular nature of grief
Week 5: Grieving What Wasn’t - Learning to make space not just for has happened but also for what didn’t, grieving the absence of what was needed and not found, how to hold hope and grief simultaneously
Week 6: What Is and Isn’t Ours - Honoring generational grief, holding the stories of our ancestors, letting grief settle and find a home here and now
Week 7: The Path to Peace - Exploring softness, gratitude and possibility in grief, loving ourselves and others well in grief, grief as the portal to inner and outer connection and peace
Week 8: Walking with Grief - Learning to walk alongside grief, reclaiming grief as safe and human, owning and integrating our story
Who is this experience for?
Anyone who might be…
Grieving a loved one, a lineage or an ancestor
Grieving a change, a loss or big life transition
Holding sorrow for a relationship that ended or one that never truly began
Mourning a version of yourself you’ve outgrown, abandoned or lost touch with
Sitting with the ache of unmet needs, unlived dreams or unexpected timelines
Carrying quiet, daily grief of experiences like illness, infertility, miscarriage or aging
Moving through wounds that seem to keep resurfacing
Sorting through a painful experience
Facing the overwhelming grief of climate change, social injustice or generational pain
Feeling the weight of “ambiguous grief” - something hard to name but still heavy
Sensing the grief of living in a world that feels misaligned with who you are, what you need or your humanness as a whole
Or might also be:
Sensing there is something you might be grieving, visible or invisible, that is holding you back
Longing to feel less alone, isolated or like a burden inside your grief
Tired of pretending to be okay when you’re not okay
Longing for a sacred space to feel - without rushing, shrinking or fixing
Drawn to a slower, gentler and more truthful way to walk with sorrow that honors its nuance and complexity
Wanting held in a small, reverent circle with others who are ready
Unsure how to even feel, tend to or care for your grief
Details:
Schedule: Wednesday evenings at 6PM Mountain Time (groups will last 75-90 minutes each)
Dates: Aug. 6 - Sept 24, 2025
Attendance each week is not required to join but encouraged. I will be asking for video to be turned on during class unless you’re unable.
Our group size this round will be capped at 8 participants.
Groups will NOT be recorded. All sessions together are live to respect the relational nature of this work.
Any extra practices, exercises or reflections will be sent out as separate emails for you to work through at your own pace and in your own way. They are supports, not requirements, but will aide the processes you will be moving through in and out of group.
Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Syanna,
A practitioner, educator, grief worker and mother-to-be.
My work lives at the intersection of grief, trauma, nervous system healing and tenderness for the human experience.
But I don’t just come to this circle as a coach or an expert on any one method - I come as someone who has also walked through many endings, many wounds, many deaths and many moments of reckoning in my own body as I heal not just my story but the stories of generations that live within me.
This group is not just an offering of my expertise, which includes thousands of hours sitting with clients in a 1:1 format but also from my own body of knowing - born from the ache of grief I also carry and the peace I’ve also found inside it.
Each and every day in my client work, I get to witness both stories of resilience and grief. Of humans from all walks of life living inside of tender stories as well as the profound and wise ways they’ve learned to hold them.
Because of this, I have also seen that when we hit the grief, we’ve hit the bottom. The tender altar of life upon which our humanity and vulnerability rest. The place where we can lay down our burdens and come home to our hearts. Where both love and loss live. Joy and heartbreak coexist and grief and gratitude dance together.
If this group calls to you in any way, I’d love to sit with you.
Much love,
Syanna
