Free bodywork session for people in grief
Grief doesn’t happen only “in the mind.” The body often carries its weight: breathing becomes shallow, the chest tightens, and tension appears in the abdomen and pelvis. The nervous system runs at high speed—either in constant “alarm mode” or in numbness. This bodywork session has one simple purpose: to offer a little calm, breath, and relief.
What is bodywork for grief?
It is a gentle small-group session based on soft nervous system regulation techniques through movement, breath, and music. Why “gentle”? Because the nervous system during grief is often heavily burdened, and overwhelming it with too many stimuli could have the opposite effect of what support is meant to bring.
During the session, the following elements may appear, among others:
- grounding (stabilising in the “here and now”),
- releasing tension in the chest and shoulder girdle,
- gentle work with the pelvis and hips area,
- breath and movement that support a sense of safety.
The cycle includes 6 sessions—it is possible to attend the full cycle or join individual sessions.
👥 Who is it for?
✓ people grieving the death of a loved one
✓ people grieving another significant loss
✓ those who feel tension in the body, restlessness, fatigue, difficulty breathing, insomnia
✓ those who feel like they “don’t feel anything.”
The session is intended for people whose loss happened at least 3 months ago.
Admission is free of charge. The meeting is organised as part of the Inkubator Pomysłów programme, funded by the European Funds for Social Development.
