Mourning Practice: A Workshop on Grief

Mourning Practice: A Workshop on Grief Saturday, June 20, 2026 | 12–3pm | 150 W 28th St, Suite 1402, NYC | $175 | 3 CE Credits

We are living in an atmosphere of loss. Not just the grief we can name and point to — but the ambient, collective mourning that saturates our lives and our work. Loss of safety. Of stability. Of what could have been. Of a version of the world that made sense. This is the grief that walks into our offices every day, and most of us were only given tools for the kind that comes with a funeral.

In this workshop, we use collage-making, somatic awareness, and processing circles to move through grief that is personal, collective, and hard to hold. You'll do the work yourself first — and leave with something to bring back to your clients.

The finished collage becomes a ritual object — an artifact of mourning that is yours to take home. Sharing it with the group before leaving is part of the ritual itself: a way of bearing witness, of making private grief collectively held.

Clinically grounded in somatic awareness, attachment theory, and Gestalt existential principles, the workshop also draws on a sociopolitical lens around collective and diasporic loss — because what our clients carry is never entirely separate from the world we are all living in.

Facilitated by Asilia Franklin-Phipps, PhD & Jennifer Byxbee, ATR-BC, LCAT, CGT
