🕊️🕊️🕊️ In the face of someone’s death, we sometimes slip into a state of silence, depression, and destruction, which can perpetuate internal suffering stemming from immense grief in response to the death of a loved one, someone you know, or even the thought of you or someone dying. In this virtual workshop, Healing After The Death Of A Loved One, you will be able to understand death, grief, and acceptance. Together, you will discuss common notions about death and grief, and you will learn to channel grief into contentment.
In this virtual workshop, the women will make space for grief by acknowledging its remarkable imminence, learning about grief response, ways to cope with grief, and transcending our perception of death and grief into acceptance.
Please Note: To keep the sacredness of women communing and healing together, you will only be allowed to enter the room with your camera on.

We do not require you to have a large Instagram following, as we are aware that someone can have 29 followers and be a genius in their field, and someone can have 500k followers and be mediocre. Your following is a benefit, but it is unnecessary, as we prefer quality over quantity any day.
To teach yoga with Black Women Healing Retreats virtual community or retreats, please be a certified yoga teacher. Though we know that certification isn’t something that everyone can obtain for various reasons, we want to ensure that all of our participants receive an array of informative classes of quality that ensure their safety.

Today 🌹🌹🌹 Black Women Healing Retreats will be hosting a Healing Through Shadow Work workshop. In this virtual workshop, you will learn about shadow work and you will dive deep into shedding and integrating the shadow. This workshop will allow you to go deep within boundaries, toxic positivity, self-accountability, letting go of the victim narrative, and unpacking trauma. In healing and taking care of your well-being, we must be able to look at the parts of ourselves that we are ashamed of or ignore so that healing can take place. This honest exploration is crucial for true healing. We assure you that as you begin to integrate your shadows with your light, your life will improve for the better.
Please bring these items to the workshop if they are available to you:
▫️get cozy someplace, your bed, yoga mat, couch
▫️journal/notepad + pen
▫️candles or incense
▫️water or warm beverage such as herbal tea
Please Note: To keep the sacredness of women communing and healing together, you will only be allowed to enter the room with your camera on.

Gentle Reminder🌹🌹🌹 You do not have to be strong all the time. You are allowed to be soft and embody your femininity. When you are tired, you deserve to rest. When you need love and support, you are allowed to receive that. It is essential to remove the mindset of being a “super woman” and allowing yourself to flow and to just be.

Black Women Healing Retreats invites you to return home to yourself. We provide a space where women can transform into their highest selves.🌹🌹🌹 | Retreat Participant Experience Ashley
💫 Ladies, It can be easy to abandon prioritizing yourself because there can be distractions in daily life, whether it’s people, things, or places. Still, the effort goes a long way, and the more consistent you are, the more natural it will become for you.🌹
