The Week's Review
Day 1: "There is a “right” and “wrong” way to grieve"
We lovingly dismantled the belief that there is some kind of correct timeline for your loss and that one day you will be over it, rather than embracing grief as a natural and ever-unfolding response of the heart.
Day 2: "Your grief is a burden"
We continued to explore ways society tries to shut down your grief and practiced a guided meditation to reveal the truth that you are part of a vast circle of beings who have suffered loss, and your broken heart is welcome here.
Day 3: "Spiritual people don’t grieve"
We unmasked the notion that to be spiritual means to be above grief and loss, and that transcending our authentic experience of heartbreak is somehow proof of how enlightened we are. In this session we write in response to an evocative prompt.
Day 4: "Loss is the end of the story"
We welcomed all forms of loss–death of a loved one, break-ups, health, kids leaving home–we explored the invitation to bless the full spectrum of the human condition as an opportunity for awakening. Mirabai responded to questions about cultivating grief as a spiritual path.
We are honored you are here with us.
Please remember to care for yourselves.

Introducing
Holy Lament
The Transformative Path of Loss & Longing
A Community Journey through the 12 Thresholds of Grief with Mirabai Starr
12 Thresholds through the Landscape of Loss
A Community Journey with Mirabai Starr
In this annual membership, we will walk together through 12 Thresholds of Grief.
We tenderly extend this invitation to people experiencing all forms of loss: a breakup, illness, loss of a job, significant life change, the death of a loved one, and any other version of the human condition that shatters your previous reality.
“We initially felt drawn to Mirabai because she is also a bereaved parent. Mirabai immediately put us at ease, there was never any pressure to say or do anything we were not ready to. Mirabai’s teachings are personal and intimate, and yet also universal. She weaves a beautiful tapestry of many different traditions reflecting the true sense of unity. Willow provided the most wonderful soundtrack to our or falling in love with Mirabai. She gifted us not only with beautiful music but also with friendship and solace.”
