Transform your capacity to hold the grief & loneliness that come when you grow, expand, and say goodbye to what no longer serves you
5 sessions
every other Wednesday, 7 PM - 8:30 PM ET
starts April 5, 2023
When we embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, loss becomes a central part of our lives.
When we learn more about ourselves, our desires change, our limits change – and our relationships change.
In order to grow, we must say goodbye to people, places, habits, and comfort. We must step into new relationships when existing ones no longer resonate with our new vibration.
Oftentimes, the grief that comes with those decisions is debilitating. Not only that, the fear of losing someone or something can impede our next steps.
And in addition to grieving the past and what we lost, we suddenly find ourselves in new territories and terrains. We often feel alone, without peers, without friends, without anyone who can see us or hold us.
If we are unable to hold the discomfort and pain of this loneliness, we will often step backward.
We will stop growing because we don’t have the capacity to hold the grief and loneliness.
This five-session course is an offering for you to increase your capacity to hold grief and loneliness.
It is an opportunity to bring awareness, intention, love, and compassion to these feelings that we so often ignore.
It is a space to be in community with others asking similar questions about relationships, spiritual deepening, and personal growth.
What’s going to happen
This class will include a mixture of guided embodied experiments, group discussions, breakouts for intentional witnessing and sharing, meditations, and space for reflection.
We will be using consent-forward practices to navigate these deep waters – consent with yourself, other participants, and the collective. You never have to do anything you don’t want to. You can always take breaks, rest, or step back when needed.
Through this group, you will learn what it means to bring a more intentional approach to the grief that comes with spiritual deepening and personal growth.
And, this will be an emergent process. We will follow the energies that arise within the group, follow them, and care for them.
Agenda
Session 1 (April 5) – Setting the container - a conversation on agreements, requests, and power dynamics. We’ll also discuss: What is your relationship to grief and personal growth? Are you within or outside of integrity in this relationship?
Session 2 (April 19) – The loneliness of personal and spiritual growth. Who have you lost along the way? How have you grieved them?
Session 3 (May 3) – What would it be like to separate the grief from the story? What would it be like to become friendly with the vibration of grief? To see it, hold it, and be a part of it?
Session 4 (May 17) – A grief ritual.
Session 5 (May 31) – How are grief and loneliness holding you back from moving forward? What do you want to receive more of? What would make it better for you?

Facilitated by Adam Bee
I am a space holder, facilitator, guide, and coach. I do this work because I believe in it. It has changed my life and the world around me.
My spiritual and personal development journey started about 20 years ago. In that time I have witnessed an immense amount of grief, loneliness, joy, and transformation.
I believe that our capacity for growth is correlated to our capacity to hold grief.
I have led many clients and groups through journeys of grief – because it is always there. It is always waiting for us.
I love working in grief. Its vibration is one I have come to cherish and hold sacred. It’s not always pleasant, but it is always awe-inspiring.
This class is a culmination of many years of experiments, coaching, and guidance with clients and groups as well as learnings from my own teachers and guides.

Registration and costs
Payment is based on a sliding scale to acknowledge that we all have different access to resources. I also want to bring awareness to the historical and persistent disparities that certain bodies, expressions, and identities have in gaining access to those resources.
It is also important to name that intentionally exploited and traditionally marginalized people have to do more work to show up and be present in group spaces like this.
Please pay what you can afford and if you are someone who benefits from the systems of dominance (white, cis-gendered, non-disabled), please consider paying more to support those who do not have the same access to resources. Resource distribution is an important part of community and it helps us come together in a more care-filled way.
Base tuition is $350. Please pay what you can afford based on a sliding scale of $150-$550
(Payment plans are available.)
