“I took the six week Mindful Grieving Series taught by Courtney and it was probably the best grief work I've ever experienced. I had lost two people very close to me at two very different times in my life. One was in high school, the other one in college. In high school, I did what any 16-year-old guy would do - buried it. In college, I followed suit. I thought I had to be the rock for everyone around me. Years later, I saw Courtney's post about the class and decided it was time for me to work through it. I had always been a kinetic learner as a child, and thought 'maybe movement will help me figure out my emotions.' It did. The combination of yoga (I'm not flexible), journaling with prompts, and Courtney's unbelievable talent at relating to everyone made this one of the most healing experiences of my life. I put thoughts to paper that I feel only came up from working them out of my body. Emotions and epiphanies flooded into my heart that brought so much peace to something that was tearing me apart inside. I feel that I grew exponentially, not only in my relationship with grief and loss, but also in my general emotional intelligence. For anyone experiencing any kind of loss, I would HIGHLY recommend the class. Commit to it, own your journey, grow through the grief. “
