Grief and loss is layered and complex – universal, yet deeply personal

We grieve in so many ways, over so many different losses in life.

The end of a marriage, a friendship that falls apart, loss of a beloved pet, a dream that slips away, even a change in status, be it personal, professional, or social.

Grief and loss are among the few experiences that each and every one of us will face, at different times, all throughout life.

But no two people move through these experiences in quite the same way.

For some, grief comes like a sudden storm – loud, overwhelming, impossible to ignore. For others, it settles in quietly, and it’s felt in moments of emptiness, restlessness, or deep longing. For many, it can stretch across months, years, even decades.

What’s universal is that loss shakes our sense of safety and belonging; what’s personal is the way each of us learns to carry it. But . . .

What if we could learn to use that grief, and find a way to connect to what it can teach us, how it might change us, and ultimately, how it can heal us?

Because here’s the thing – how we respond to grief and loss has such an impact on growth and recovery. Beyond that, our response to grief can directly affect whether we become closed off, or more deeply connected.

Now here’s the problem . . .

When it comes to grief, focusing on making the pain stop – even when it’s what we most desperately want – isn’t the answer.

Instead, it’s about learning to transform the pain. Except, how do we do that?

How do we shift away from focusing on the pain of the loss to instead, finding the deeper, richer meaning that it might carry for our lives?

We’ve partnered with Tara Brach, PhD to bring you a brand-new interactive program.

In it, she’ll walk you through specific insights, practices, and meditations that can change the way we respond to grief and loss – perhaps the deepest, most universal experiences we will ever face in life.


What Truly Sets This Program Apart

Each week, you’ll get a new module that contains a wealth of Tara’s wisdom and teaching. And where most training programs might tell you which practices to “plug in,” and when . . .

. . . in this program, Tara will guide you, thoughtfully and step-by-step, through each practice.

The idea is that you’ll be able to experience for yourself the powerful shift that can come when we stop trying to push grief away and instead, open our hearts to what grief can teach us, how it might change us, and ultimately, how it can heal us.

Not only that, but Tara will also join you live throughout the program for what you might think of as “weekly check-ins.”

Because each week, after you’ve had time to view the module, reflect on Tara’s teachings, and incorporate some or all of them into your meditation practice, you may have some questions – and you’ll have the opportunity to ask Tara directly.

So if you want to develop practices that can support you through life’s inevitable times of loss, grief, and change – practices that you can call upon throughout your lifetime – then I encourage you to join Tara for this powerful program.

Tara has the ability to delve deep . . . into those murky places that we often prefer to avoid.

“Tara is such a moving speaker on mindfulness. I find the art of it allows a certain distance from the angst of life, thus enabling a sense of freedom and a release from the chains of obligations. Tara has the ability to delve deep into our souls, into those murky places that we often prefer to avoid … and she does this so softly, so quietly and with a simplicity which I perceive as humility. I am very much looking forward to Tara’s future gifts for they are exactly that, gifts of the heart and received by the heart. Thank you.”
