Death as a Playground
A dropping into the exploration, wonderment, and play in and through the portal of Death and the remembering of the Truth of who you are.
The Journey Begins March 25, 2023.
There are many ways to approach and be in the depths of loss, grieving and death
Loss and the accompanying grief is one of the deepest processes a human can go through
There are little losses - anywhere someone is still hanging on and it's time to let go
There are big losses - those experiences that devastate and break a heart wide open
Grief is an incredibly deep, sensitive, very beautiful, and essential part of life
Within grief, there are a whole range of emotions that can be felt
Such as despair, misery, depression, bitterness, resentment, and rage
Within that is also the potential experiences of ecstasy, bliss, hopefulness, joy, and a re-birthing
For some people, this is a freeing, relieving, spacious new beginning
For others, it's a time of re-evaluation, decisions, and re-arranging
For many, it's getting lost and overwhelmed in the black hole of emotions and thoughts
Grief and loss are unpredictable
It's a meeting of the void inside of us
Each person's journey is unique
Each death a person experiences, whether big or small, is also distinct
Whether it's grieving the death of a loved one
The end of a long-term intimate relationship
The shifting of community and friendships
The changing of jobs or careers
The the end of our own physical form as we know it
The curiosity of Death itself
Or something else
Rather than letting it overtake us
What if we had a space to play and explore and excavate the deeper knowing and lessons that this transition point is here to show us?
Not to make light or fun of the experience of death
But to question what Society has shown us Death is and has to be
In society, we've kept our death rituals on the surface
Often a formal, mourning affair
In which we often get stuck in the black hole of our emotions and thoughts
We often keep it all to ourselves
Sometimes we seek help and support
Only to find no one is able to hold us in the depths of it all
Often having to turn around and hold the other person who is supposed to be holding us
Many of us are left wondering
"Why me?"
"What's next?"
"What now?"
“Will anyone miss me when I’m gone?”
"How do I live life fully now that I've experienced death?"
In grieving, we've left out the primal, raw depths of truly feeling everything
In and through our bodies
In a full allowing and opening
With exploration and wonderment
Fully acknowledging and honoring all that is showing up
In the death of our life as we knew it
Of all that we were
And all that we thought we had to be
With a lens of wonder, curiosity, and full allowing of all that is showing up
To mourn and cry
To shake and shed
To breath or not
To celebrate and honor
To regret and forgive
To play and explore
To dance in pleasure within the pain
To notice we are not alone
And to remember the life that is created
From the death and destruction of what was
As relationships end
We grieve the loss
We evaluate what we want to keep
We decide what our next relationship will be
And ultimately who we are choosing to BE next
As we say goodbye to loved ones as they pass from this human form
We remember the love
We evaluate the regrets
We explore who we are in having had this person in our life
We choose who we are being moving forward with them no longer in our physical space
In our own transitions in life
Where we stand at the line between life and death
Questioning the legalities, formalities, relationships
Whether we will be missed
How we will be remembered
Feeling like a failure
And unfinished dreams
We're usually not attuned to the re-birthing gift of death
Where we get to grieve and also honor and respect that death is always making way for something else
What if death got to be this playground upon which we create and live?
We can look through the lens at destruction and feel a sense of loss and powerlessness
Or we can dive deep and shift the lens
Seeing the art and beauty in the destruction
That in clearing out the old
We can cultivate the new
A new moment
A new breath
A new day
A new identity
A new relationship
A new job/career
A new sense of peace and freedom
A new desire for aliveness and power
Whatever we choose
So that all that we are now being nudged into Being
Germinates and breaks ground in the fertile soil of the destruction
And grows into the new phase of the life of our choosing
We often are trained that grieving and loss is a private matter
And to some degree it is
For each of our experiences are our own unique journey
There is another level though
Where we drop into the grief and pain of it all
Instead of just talking about it or ignoring it
When we are held in a space of non-judgement for all that we are experiencing
When we sit in curiosity and exploration with all that is showing up for us
When we allow ourselves to fully unleash the rawness we are feeling
This is an invitation for you
To drop into Death
Into the grief, loss, pain, hurt, sadness
Into the destruction
Into the black hole of emotions
Into the exploration of what's on the other side of it all
Into the inquiries and the impulses and celebrations
Into the experiments of weaving in and out of pleasure and sexual life force energy
Into the choosing of who you want and are being called into next
Not from being in your head
But from being in your body
To play in the wonderment of Death
Whatever that is for you in this moment
To explore Death as a Playground
For our Souls to fully unleash the magic and wonderment
And explore and excavate at the crossroads of Death and Life
Where you get to feel
In, as, and through your body
A choosing, deciding, calling, embodying
Of what’s next
From the remembrance of your Truth
And what living life fully is for you
