Based on my book “Resilience Art: A Grief Coloring Book Using Ritual and Music to Help You Grow,” I have created an uplifting workshop where I will show attendees how to use my coloring book to self-nurture, and to help honor the pain of their grief and transform it into healing with creative rituals and music especially chosen for the event.

Music has the power to ground us, to lighten our heavy hearts, and to help us heal.

The creative arts are wonderfully effective ways to express sorrow and other emotions of grief, and the combination of music and art encourages our natural resilience to emerge, and helps us regain our emotional footing.

Grief is a normal and healthy reaction to loss, and so is resilience. We all have the capacity to learn how to live with our losses and to apply our own style of grieving to the healing process. This usually takes time and happens gradually.

We don’t overcome grief, we make room for it in our psyche and we find a place in which grief can co-exist with our other memories.
