In this heart opening conversation with Ruthann Gagnon, we explore: What heart forward grief feels like What it means to respect the process of the the body and the gems we've gathered from the caves of grief How and why experiencing grief as an intelligent litmus test of the depth and safety of relationships Being sangry (sad + angry) about how grief is so feared in this culture How embodiment grows self compassion, love and forgiveness for ourselves and others Doing nothing and un-tooling as integration practice Working out for the emotional body How working for herself opens up the space to feel grief and her daily prayer for meeting it What becomes possible when we make a practice of sitting with and stepping through the void/wreath of grief Ruthann has spent much of her career strategizing and catalyzing creative efforts through organized, thoughtful and collaborative architecture.  With two decades of retreat, workshop and event production, she comes the logistical experience to create experiences, alongside the deeper emotional and creative skills to help other find the radiance and confidence needed to execute ideas into reality.  She is also extremely passionate about the power of culinary creativity and integrates cooking into her work wherever she can. She currently works with individuals, groups and companies as a creative strategist and ideas architect and is also the co-founder of DEIcipher, a consulting group focused on embodied DEI initiatives in the wellness industry and beyond.  You can connect with Ruthann and her work at https://www.deicipher.com/ and on IG @rubygagnon To support this podcast, you can subscribe, share it and sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠regular bonus episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for 4.99/month To stay connected to me and my work, follow me on Instagram and Tiktok @moveyourgrief and subscribe to my substack, ⁠⁠⁠the Middle Place⁠⁠⁠.
