The Workshop:

Join us for an afternoon of floral alchemy where we turn our pain into beauty and destroy the taboo around grief to unlock its transformative power. This unique event blends the beauty and joy of creating floral arrangements with a safe, authentic discussion about grief, the impact it’s had on our lives, and the loved ones we honor while building a supportive community. Grief is the one guarantee we all have – we don’t need to go through it alone. 

I believe that flowers are a powerful force for change, both in our own personal lives and collectively, and I want to share this healing practice. There is so much grief in our communities, but our culture highly stigmatizes any discussion around the topic. 

My goal is to create a space where people feel safe enough to share their grief, talk about their loved ones, and share what helps them find the strength to keep living. I want to empower people to turn their daunting emotions into something beautiful in real time while building community with those who can relate. I also hope to teach others who do not have this lived experience yet how to better support those in their lives who are grieving. 

My little brother recently passed away and creating floral arrangements has been an integral part of my healing. To move my grief up, out, and through and into something beautiful is truly a meditation on alchemy. They have helped me grow, and even to bloom, during the darkest time of my life. It is my hope with these workshops to cultivate the same deep healing for my community. 

I believe that understanding grief is the gateway to understanding, and fully appreciating life, and I feel called to destroy the taboo around it to help others unlock the transformative power of their grief.
