The Grief Experience: Tools for Acceptance, Resilience, and Connection

Jean Trewhella shares more of her personal story and healing journey as a contributing author for the book, "The Grief Experience: Tools for Acceptance, Resilience, and Connection," which has achieved Amazon's #1 bestseller status.

In The Grief Experience, you’ll receive the gift of understanding the important and life-changing healing work that happens when you let go of old, conditioned patterns of belief around the grief process and gain new, healthier, more aligned, and effective knowledge and tools.

The 25 experts who came together for this collaboration share intimate stories and powerful strategies that will help you if you’re struggling with deep loss.

Where there is deep grief, there was great love, and this book is the ultimate guide back to that love.

As Seen On

Dance becomes the language of grief, allowing movement to speak where words fall short — guiding sorrow into healing, one step at a time.
— Jean Trewhella

Healing Through Movement: JourneyDance™ for Grief

Grief moves through us in ways that words often cannot capture, settling deep within our hearts and bodies.

Through movement expression, we can release the physical weight of grief, creating space for acceptance, comfort, and healing.

Every loss we experience offers an opportunity for transformation — if we allow ourselves to move through it rather than remain stuck.

JourneyDance™ provides a pathway to healing by engaging the mind, body, and soul in unison. It helps us process emotions, find resilience, and step forward with renewed strength and compassion.

  • Gathered in a circle, there is a short time to journal and set our thoughts for the practice. 

    We introduce ourselves with a word and a movement. 

    We invite our losses onto the dance floor with us as we move and release the stored energy holding us back from moving on. 

    We move as a group and as individuals, connecting, witnessing, and allowing the expression of our hearts' grief within a sacred circle of collective understanding and love. 

    We return to the circle with time to journal and share our insights and reflections.
