Many of us have a hard time knowing how to be with or even access our grief. The mere thought of a grief space can be rattling. Our modern-day society marches to a mechanized rhythm with little, if any, reflective space. By way of coping, we compartmentalize and carry on. The simple act of feeling can elude us. We’re numb, distracted, heartbroken, angry, isolated, and confused. None of this is our fault. We aren’t meant to grieve alone, and yet that’s often what unfolds.

This fall, with the hope of contacting and being with our shared grief, Riverbird Clinic is offering a multi-week, soul-opening, heart-expanding ketamine-assisted therapy (KAT) cohort to support the softening of our habituated and often unconscious defense strategies. Having the fortitude to do this sacred work ripens and deepens us, and alchemizes suffering into something beautiful and life-giving. Our grief doesn’t need healing, but rather our healing needs grief.

Led by Riverbird Clinic clinicians Liz Strawbridge MD, David Wright PMHNP, and Carolyn Branson LCPC, and along with interfaith minister Ashely Jansen, we will use our time to slow down and find courage in being with our tender places, together. It is our wish that you may know and remember we are not alone on this path of healing.

Cost of group: $3,250; with sliding scale spots available. To learn more please email info@riverbirdclinic.com

A passage from “Grief Astronomer” by the poet Andrea Gibson

“A difficult life is no less
worth living than a gentle one.
Joy is simply easier to carry
than sorrow. And your heart
could lift a city from how long
you’ve spent holding what’s been
nearly impossible to hold.
This world needs those
who know how to do that.
Those who could find a tunnel
that has no light at the end of it,
and hold it up like a telescope
to know the darkness
also contains truths that could
bring the light to its knees.
Grief astronomer, adjust the lens,
look close, tell us what you see.”
