Your clients are bringing collective grief into the room — loss of safety, of a coherent world, of what never got to exist. And when their grief mirrors your own, the usual clinical moves stop working.

This 3-hour experiential workshop helps clinicians work with grief on both levels: understanding how collective loss registers in the nervous system, and finding ways to help clients move that energy rather than simply sit inside it together.

Through collage as both a psychoanalytic and ritualistic vehicle, you'll do the work yourself first — and leave with a tool you can bring directly into sessions with your own clients.

This workshop is in-person — and intentionally so. There's something that becomes available when clinicians gather in a room together that no virtual container can replicate: a nervous system-level permission to actually feel, grieve, and reconnect with why this work matters. You'll leave not only with new clinical tools but with a community of practitioners navigating the same terrain.
