A half-day intensive workshop presented by Amanda McKoy Flanagan and Jessica Goldmuntz Stokes will explore the many faces of loss through intentional somatics, creative expression, and group harmony.

Together, these elements cultivate connection, meaning-making, and shared healing in a nurturing environment where grief can be explored, expressed, held, and transformed into hope, healing, and gratitude.

Writing Through Loss: Honoring the Past, Nurturing the Present, Envisioning What Comes Next

Join Amanda McKoy Flanagan & NIcci Scimone for a gentle, guided writing experience exploring transition due to a loss event, transformation, and healing through mindful reflection and creativity. Together, we’ll expand on three writing prompts centered on the past, present, and future, with space for optional sharing and connection in community.

Each participant in this supportive space will write one paragraph, consecutively, that becomes part of a shared story exploring grief — weaving together multiple perspectives into one unified narrative. Amanda & Jessica will offer various prompts to which the group will select one to build upon. They will lead you through a short somatic exercise to ground into the moment, followed by writing. A volunteer will read the completed story aloud and the group will reflect on the passage.

A sacred gathering to be, listen, and honor all of you.

As the world quiets under a blanket of winter, we invite you to do the same.

This season, give yourself permission to pause. To soften. To slow down. Let this be a time to gently turn inward — not to fix or force, but to witness. To be present with what is, and trust what may come.
