Pleasure as a Grief Resource
Does grief leave you with no vitality, no desire, and no sense of what comes next?
Many people living with loss describe a deep depletion of energy, a heaviness that makes joy, movement, or desire feel distant or even forbidden. For many of us, this grief is not only personal, but collective. We are grieving the state of the world, the ongoing devastation, violence, and suffering that can feel relentless and overwhelming, touching our nervous systems even when loss is not our own.
In this gathering, we explore grief not as something to overcome, but as a sacred landscape that can coexist with aliveness. Drawing on embodied wisdom, nervous system awareness, and the subtle current of erotic life force, we gently inquire into how pleasure, sometimes in the smallest and most tender ways, can become a resource rather than a betrayal of grief.
Together we explore the alchemy of emotion, the mysterious intersection of joy and sorrow, and how the body remembers how to meet life again, even while carrying great personal and collective loss. This is an invitation to honor grief fully, including grief for the world, while allowing energy, sensation, and love to move through us once more in ways that feel true, safe, and deeply human.
