She Climbs Mountains is thrilled to offer Love and Loss: Making it Matter, a 5-week virtual writing workshop for motherless daughters with celebrated author, Sarah Conover.

• Saturdays, January 13 to February 10, 10am to Noon CST* (*January 13 will be 10am-12:30pm CST) 

Just as our hearts want to cultivate wisdom, our writing selves long to speak what matters most. There is so much to celebrate in a life's journey and also inevitable loss. Although profound grief has a life of its own - sometimes hidden, sometimes numb, sometimes raw and painful - a grief story is always a love story. Writing accesses a part of the brain that is offline in our day-to-day activities, but which can allow grief to discover its voice, be better understood and metabolized in our lives. Your words are the exact size of the hole in somebody else’s heart that they need to hear.

Listening carefully to our inner life and clarifying what is most meaningful is at the heart of good writing. Both lead to a greater intimacy with ourselves and a courageous leaping into the mysteries of facing love and loss. Our time together will be a place for intimacy, insight, and compassion while respecting individuals' safety and privacy. Together we'll use various methods to bring forth ideas, themes, and stories from your life history to mine for writing during this class and in the future. We'll also learn a bit about crafting our words to make them matter and meaningfully connect to others.

Together, with other motherless daughters, we will:

• Listen deeply to ourselves

• Leap into the discoveries offered by writing

• Listen deeply to others

• Discern - finding the gems

• Craft our words to make them matter

• Share our learnings and wisdom

We will use inventive prompts, free writes, mentor texts, and supportive workshopping to facilitate discussion, amplify meaning, and explore writing’s ability to transform one’s relationship to grief and loss.

$125 per person for the 5-week workshop

Limited scholarships available. Please contact christine@sheclimbsmountains.org for further information.

Additional details: 

CLASS ONE: Settling in and Mapping the Landscape

CLASS TWO: Making Us Care 

CLASS THREE: Blessing the World: The Sensory Palette

CLASS FOUR: The Orphan’s Power: Fearlessness and Wisdom

CLASS FIVE: The Sanctuary of Writing

Expectations: 

Classes scaffold one upon the next, as does trust in ourselves and our fellow writers. Please try your best not to miss our time together! We may try to make a recording of each class available for a limited time but realize that’s not nearly as rewarding as having your work be part of the discussion. 

There will be homework, but not necessarily a lot (maximum 1 ½ pages double-spaced)! Even if you can only manage a few paragraphs due to a busy week, we will all eagerly anticipate each other’s writings and discoveries.

In Collaboration with Hope Edelman’s Motherless Daughters Community, join others who “get it” for 8 weeks of online connection and support.

WE KNOW WHAT MOTHERHOOD - WITHOUT GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT FROM YOUR OWN MOTHER - CAN BE LIKE.

When we become mothers, a jumble of mixed emotions often result: joy, pain, gratitude, anger, fear. And sometimes, we need space apart from our kids with other women who are mothering without their mothers to healthily process these big, vulnerable feelings.

No matter where you are on your mothering journey, we’ll meet you there in our Motherless Mothers Circle.

FRIDAY at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET (1/12; 1/19; 1/26; 2/2; 2/9; 2/16; 2/23; 3/1)

Each session runs for 90 minutes.

She Climbs Mountains is thrilled to partner with celebrated author, Sarah Conover, for a 2 1/2-hour writing workshop addressing the tender terrain of grief. Grief has a life of its own - sometimes hidden, sometimes numb, sometimes raw and painful. Writing uses a part of the brain that is offline in our day-to-day activities, but which can allow grief to discover its own poignant voice, be better understood and metabolized in our lives. Sarah will provide prompts to generate your words while providing a safe space for an exploration of writing’s ability to transform your relationship to loss. A grief story is a love story, and your words are the exact size of the hole in somebody else’s heart that they need to hear.

Writers of all levels are invited to join us for a morning of exploration and connection. This gathering is open to adult motherless daughters (ages 19+).

$25 per person

Welcome to the Flying Trapeze! First time She Climbs Mountains students are introduced to the equipment and facilities and given a quick overview of safety requirements. Next you will be taught a ‘knee hang’ position to practice on our low trapeze bar. Then it’s up the ladder to the Trapeze Rig. One instructor remains with you on the Trapeze Rig, another pulls the safety lines and the third remains on the ground offering corrections/encouragement/assistance as needed.

During the final portion of the class, the third instructor becomes the "Catcher" and climbs onto the Rig to catch the students as you perform your trick. This is the final step of the first day and most people consider it the highlight.

Following trapeze, we will join in a discussion with Dr. Sherry Walling regarding grief, loss, and how movement can benefit us on our healing journey. Dr. Walling is clinical psychologist, speaker, podcaster, mental health advocate, and the author of Touching Two Worlds: A Guide for Finding Hope in the Landscape of Loss.

Best attire is something you feel comfortable moving in, and as we'll be working with safety equipment long pants and shirts that cover the midriff are strongly recommended. A light snack and drinks will be provided. All participants must complete this waiver prior to the event date.

$75 per person for the 2-hour workshop; each participant will receive a copy of Dr. Sherry Walling’s book, Touching Two Worlds
