About the Workshop:
There is so little space in our culture for people who have experienced pregnancy loss, which results in loneliness, shame, and structural oppression, and fam, we deserve resources, community, and support.
Laura and Jade are creating a warm, tender space. We will breathe together, practice visualizations, move gently in ways that feel good for each body, and find opportunities to lean into healing and even joy.
Everyone’s experience will be different, as we are all in different stages of our journey. Whatever moment you’re in will be met with compassion, and we hope everyone leaves feeling connected and restored.
