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. That’s why I’m offering something a little different. Moving With GriefA live, 90-minute Zoom gathering 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
You don’t need to explain or justify your grief. Grief isn’t something to be fixed. Join us in the circle.
Until next time, take very good care. With heart, P.S. If this workshop isn't for you, but you know someone who could benefit from it, I'd be so grateful if you would pass this email along 🙏. **Not sure why you're getting this email** You likely signed up to receive communication from Radiant Effect.

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...
Hello Reader,Your core is more than just muscles coordinating. It’s the centre of your being—the place where you align not only with yourself but also with the world around you. For many, awareness of this place is limited, both physically and spiritually. And if the word spiritual makes you want to hit eject, hold tight. A while back, I shared a newsletter on different types of awareness: intercorporeality, proprioception, exteroception, and interoception. These aren’t “woo” concepts. They...
