Grief touches each of us differently, yet it is something we all know. Sometimes it arrives suddenly and shakes us to the core. Sometimes it lingers quietly for years. In whatever way grief lives in you, this one-day workshop is an invitation to pause, to meet your loss with honesty, and to let words become a way of holding what is inside.

Together with Vered Manasse and Roxan McDonald, you will spend a day moving and breathing, just as writing and reflecting. The space of the workshop will welcome the whole of you. We will not try to fix grief or make it smaller. Instead, we will listen to the ways it has shaped you, honor the relationship with whomever you grieve, and let your own voice carry the truth of your story.

You don’t need to think of yourself as a writer. What matters is that you come with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to be with what is. Writing in this way is not a solitary act—it is physical, alive, and deeply connected to the body. As you write, you may notice how it links you to yourself, to the person you grieve, and to those around you. There is a beauty in speaking loss out loud, in being witnessed, and in witnessing others.

Because we know that grief often arrives alongside many other challenges, it is important to us that this workshop remains accessible. That is why we offer three different contribution options, and you are invited to choose what feels right for you. If 80 EUR allows you to be here, please know that you are warmly welcome. If 120 EUR feels possible, you are offering the sustaining price that supports us in holding this space and dedicating our care to you and the group. And if 160 EUR feels right, your choice makes it possible for us to also welcome those who cannot pay the full amount. Every contribution, whichever one you choose, is received with gratitude.
