Can movement hold our sorrow?


Hello Reader,

Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored what it means to stay rooted, to begin again, and to meet ourselves with clarity and compassion. We've circled around the realness of life—its shifts, its pains, its beauty.

I'm ready to offer us something deeper.

Moving With Grief is a collaborative event for you to be with what’s heavy, tender, or undefined. A space where your body is welcome to process in its own language—through ritual, reflection, and movement.

Grief isn’t always loud or obvious. Sometimes it’s the subtle ache of change. Sometimes it’s the deep sorrow we’ve tucked away to keep going. Sometimes it arrives in cycles we didn’t expect.

We won’t rush it.
We won’t fix it.
But we will move with it.

That’s why I’m offering something a little different.

Moving With Grief

A live, 90-minute Zoom gathering
Saturday, June 21, 9:30-11am
$47 | Recording available (with exception of share circle)

I’ll be co-hosting this special circle with Susie Ruth, an end-of-life doula and grief specialist who has spent years helping others navigate loss with compassion, ritual, and presence.

Together, we’ll hold space for grief in its many forms—loss of a loved one, identity, health, place, or season of life. If you’re carrying something tender, this space is for you.


What to Expect

  • A chance to arrive and get grounded
  • A shared ritual to invite presence and connection
  • A teaching from Susie on grief and the grieving body
  • A guided embodiment practice with me
  • Closing reflections and space to share (only if you want to)

You don’t need to explain or justify your grief.
You don’t need to move in any particular way.
You can show up just as you are.

Grief isn’t something to be fixed.
It’s something to be tended to—with breath, movement, and care.


Join us in the circle.
Because being held in your sorrow is healing.
Because your story matters.
Because grief, like love, deserves space.

Until next time, take very good care.

With heart,
Meg

Hello Reader,If you’ve been following along, you know I recently took some time off to recharge in nature, seek a little adventure, and celebrate my 45th spin around the sun. The plan? A mountaineering trip to summit a 3,000-meter peak. I was so excited. If you know me, you know I’m no stranger to challenging myself in new ways. Maybe it’s because I grew up with two older brothers who pushed me to be tough. Maybe it’s my wild spirit and love of dreaming. Or maybe it’s just the West Coast bug-...

Hello Reader,You know, I’ve always been a little bit on the fringe. Growing up, my friends would definitely describe me as the “weird one.” When I was first learning to teach movement, I knew I needed a special kind of teacher. I didn’t fit the mold of what Pilates teachers looked like back then (20 years ago). I didn't really care about my lineage back to Joseph Pilates. I loved nuance and detail but wasn’t interested in perfection. I was a yogini who found spirituality no matter what the...

Hello Reader,I want to tell you a story about a moment from the other day with one of my students. We were moving along, doing an exercise we’ve done a zillion times, when all of a sudden there was a fissure. Something cracked open, and my student stopped, tears in her eyes. "I don’t know what’s happening," she said. "I don’t know why I’m crying." ✨ By the way — this happens all the time. ✨ If you’ve ever cried in a movement class, you are not alone. I’ve been witness to it since my very...
