Mindful Liz

I am Elisabeth, or Liz and I am a mindfulness trainer, grief educator, doula, coach & retreat facilitator. Bringing mindful awareness into your everday life

My work is rooted in mindfulness and in the big transitions of life: from birth to death, from love to loss, from stillness to change.

Grief doesn’t need fixing, and often it doesn’t need professional help either. But loss can (quietly) shake the ground beneath our daily lives. And every now and then, it helps to have a place where what we carry can be felt and shared.

That’s why we’re offering Giving Space to Grief. A shared space to slow down and breathe.

Through reflection, embodied practice, voice, ritual and rest, grief is met with care, inviting lightness and renewal.

This workshop is facilitated by Elisabeth (Liz) Tiesinga and Diana Jost, bringing together experience in grief work, mindfulness, embodied practices and voice expression.

🗓 Sunday, January 18
⏰ 10:00–14:00
💫 €35–€55 sliding scale
📍In Harmony: Integrative Health Centre@

Giving Space to Grief

Maybe you’ve simply continued on.
Living, caring, carrying.
Because life keeps moving.

And maybe, underneath it all,
there’s a knowing that it’s time to pause.
To breathe.
To make space.

This 4-hour gathering offers a gentle place to slow down and make space for grief, in the body, the heart and the mind.

Through reflection, embodied practice, voice, ritual and rest, grief is met with care, inviting lightness and renewal.

This edition is facilitated by: Elisabeth Tiesinga: Cert. Grief Educator, Mindfulness Trainer & Birth Doula and co-host Diana Jost, who brings her decades of experience in embodied practices and voice expression.

Together we allow the body to soften, the breath to deepen, and the heart to feel more open.

On Sunday, November 23, we gather again for the 7th edition of our grief workshop - Making Space for Grief.

I am quietly proud of how this space keeps evolving. Each time it grows with the people who join, the stories shared, the different shapes grief takes, and all that I continue to learn through this work.

Last time we filled the room, and something became very clear: spaciousness matters. Time to slow down, breathe, reflect, share, and experience the practices fully. So this month we will keep an even calmer rhythm, extending the workshop with 1 extra hour, to be with more room for presence and integration.

I will also be working more with co-facilitators in these sessions, and I’m happy to welcome Danielle Riegel again. She is a professional harpist and Qi Gong teacher. Her gentle sound and sharing brought a softening to the group that many spoke about afterwards.

Something that touched me last time was how people felt comfort in seeing that grief takes so many forms. The loss of a partner, a parent, a relationship, a pet, a sense of identity, or the living loss of a loved one slowly disappearing into Alzheimer’s.

Grief is universal, yet so uniquely ours. And there is healing simply in being together.

✨What you can expect:
Guided Griefwork & Mindfulness
Reflection & Sharing
Qi Gong
Ritual & Harp & Sound Journey

Details:

🗓️ Sunday Nov. 23
🕙 10.00–14.00
📍 In Harmony: Integrative Health Centre, Lagos
💶 Sliding scale €35–€55

If you feel called to join, you’re welcome to reserve your spot.

From Grief to Growth 🌱

As the sun sank into the Atlantic 2 nights ago, I sat in the place I created for my father here in Portugal. The cliffs, the wind, the endless horizon, all holding me in their quiet embrace. I spoke to him without words, and in the stillness, something stirred.
 A sense… a knowing… that there is more ahead.
It’s been shimmering inside me for weeks, quietly, like a seed waiting for the right season.
 That night, in the golden light, it began to take form.
It grew stronger with every breath, with every sunray stretching out in the sky, as if the light itself was reminding me:
 
Something is shifting.
Change is coming. Something is ready to be born.

From this place, where grief meets meaning, and silence meets possibility, something new is taking shape.
 It holds the bond between grief and nature, connection and belonging, life and love, release and resilience, and the quiet transformation that comes from integrating it all.

I can’t wait to share it with you.
Stay close… the horizon is getting brighter. 🌅💙

💙 24-04-1949 🤍 12-08-2023

Today marks two years since my father passed away.
In Happinez Magazine, I shared about that intense, pure moment at his bedside in the Netherlands  How I was able to accompany him, together with my family, to the other side. Grief and gratitude, intertwined. An experience that shaped me forever.

Since then, I’ve created a place for my father here in Portugal. High on a cliff… 240° of Atlantic Ocean before me. The sound of waves breaking. The salty wind on my skin. The hills fading softly into the light.
At the end of this day, I will be there. In silence. With the elements. Surrounded by nature that breathes, comforts, and carries. There, I speak to him without words.

Rituals like these hold a healing power. They give form to what’s too big to grasp, open space for grief and love, and keep the bond alive with those we miss 🤍

🌾This summer, I want to create space for real encounters.
 Human to human. Heart to heart. Not rushed, not transactional - but spacious, honest, and present.

I work in the field of grief, loss, and life transitions. Rooted in mindfulness and deep listening, I meet people in tender, transformative spaces.

And I see more and more people stepping into this space, each in their own way.
So I’m opening the circle..
 ✨ Who should I talk to this summer? ✨ Who’s doing work that touches grief, change, love, loss, healing, presence?

I’m not just looking for inspiration. I’m looking for connection. And collaboration. Soft, curious, grounded connection.

📞I’d love to meet - online - in a simple, honest conversation. To share stories, ideas, questions. To listen to what lives in this field.

Are you this person, or do you know someone?
💌 Tag someone. 💌 DM me. 💌 Share this post.

Because together we carry more than we ever could alone.
Let’s meet
Warmly,
Elisabeth

✨ From Silence to Voice – A Turning Point

These past months have shifted something inside me.
It started with simply showing up online and talking about grief. Then came an interview in magazine Netherlands, where I spoke about gratitude and the tender goodbye with my father.
 And then… I stood on stage at .female.leaders Festival, sharing my voice and story in front of many people – about grief, courage, and what we don’t often say out loud.

💫 What began as a personal journey has grown into a mission: To make space for grief, for transition, for the unseen and unspoken.
Not just in one country or culture – but in all the places where humans live, lose, love and grow.
This is not an end. It’s a beginning.

🧡 I’ll be sharing more about my work in the coming weeks – the spaces I create, the people I support, the quiet power of holding space.

Have you ever felt the need to speak something out loud… but didn’t know how? I’m here to listen 💜

27/06/2025

99% had experienced grief. But at work... there was silence.

Exactly one week ago, I stood on stage in front of nearly 200 women, gathered for the .female.leaders Festival on New Leadership.
I spoke about something rarely named, but deeply felt: Grief at Work.

My invitation? To move towards a new kind of leadership. One where strength and vulnerability walk side by side. Where we see each other as human first - also at work. Where we stay present, even when things get uncomfortable. I call it: Leadership with Presence.

The response was powerful. 99% had experienced grief. Many remembered the silence, the awkwardness, the not knowing from their employer.

✨ Do you have the courage to bring grief into the conversation? To follow the example of and the .female.leaders community?

I invite you to be a role model - and bring grief out of the shadows. In your workplace, your team, your community. I’d love to support you.

💬 I work with teams, leaders, organisations and individuals to make grief visible and speakable. Not to fix it. But to hold it - with knowledge, compassion and care.
 Because even amid loss, work can be a place of support.
Let’s shift the culture together.
 Grief doesn’t ask for solutions - it asks for presence.
