Turning the Soil ~ A Grief Ritual
Sascha Demerjian & Shonali Banerjee
March 19 | 7-9pm | Moore Chapel in Legacy Park

Turn the soil of your grief as we are on the brink of a new season. In alignment with the emergence of spring be held in a ritual space compassionately held by Sascha & Shonali to churn through your inner grief landscape. There are no imposed outcomes or goals, just an awareness to look towards your grief with deep love & care at this potent seasonal moment. The Spring Equinox is March 20th at 9:46am.

You can expect a guided ritual experience which will include sacred songs, gentle movement, writing prompts, sharing, witnessing, creating and resting. All forms of the sacred are honored here, just as all types of grief are welcome.
Sascha & Shonali have been holding ritual together since 2023 & have a wealth of experience. Shonali as a yoga therapist & death doula, and Sascha as the co-founder of The Grief House.

The Moore Chapel is a beautiful space located in Legacy Park. We hope, if you feel called, you will join us.

Benny and I are excited to be back at Intown Retreat March 7, 6-7:30pm for our signature Restorative Yoga Song & Sound Immersion.

We will gather to honor the emergence of spring through rest and the mystical presence of music & song. Be transported.

Settle into deeply supported restorative postures as layers of sacred song & immersive sound healing with crystal bowls, flutes, gongs, & handpans guide you into profound rest, reflection and renewal.

Shonali guides this conscious resting experience precisely created for this particular moment in time. Expect to drop into innate wisdom, soothe the nervous system, acknowledge struggles, and tune into loving care.

No prior yoga experience is necessary—bring an open heart, a willingness to rest as you hold space for yourself and others.

After class, feel free to further wind down with time in the sauna or in the lounge.

Please register in advance as spaces are limited & this event is likely to sell out.

I’ve completely lost my voice passionately singing resistance songs. Bear with me as I step back to heal. Studios are securing amazing subs for my classes and I hope to be back on track soon. I am full of love and sorry to miss you all. ❤️

In the meantime, check out and the amazing songs is pouring forth from Minneapolis.

What an absolutely glorious first full moon of 2026 co-creating a sacred song & sound immersion with Benny Silva at Intown Retreat. We were so blessed to fill the space, to rest together, to welcome the New Year, to bask in the full moon light.

It was truly a gift to have so many folks present, and I hope you’ll forgive me when I say that my highlight was the presence of my 17 year old son & his 2 friends, kids I’ve known for years. To introduce them to restorative yoga & sacred rest through song & sound made it a notable evening I’ll never forget.

I also would like to share how exciting it is to experiment, improvise, and explore with my voice. I’ve been gently nudging myself to open up more and it feels like I’m breaking through into some new territory. Grateful to Benny for the incredible accompaniment.

What a wild ride… living into these potentialities… I’m grateful for all of the alignments which allow moments like these to unfold.

Mark your calendars for the next monthly offering on February 7, 6-7:30p. I am elated Lisa Jordan will accompany me next month. Stand by. I’ll post the registration link when it’s out.

Blessings to you all as we enter this new year.

Check my public teaching schedule & come practice with me. We’ll take a 10 week dive into the Yamas & Niyamas starting Jan 12. 💥✨💥

You are invited to join us for a 7 week dive into the grief you are holding. Francis Weller’s The Wild Edge of Sorrow is our anchor. Weller’s Five Gates of Grief, song, breath, movement, ritual, writing and sharing of losses in this small group setting open wide the possibility to open up your relationship with Grief.

All starting points with grief are welcome here. For some, grief will be intimately familiar and need no introduction. For some, grief may feel more distant and hard to access. No matter, you will be welcome to explore your grief, in all the ways it shows up, in community with us.

Offered seven Tuesdays from 7pm - 8:30pm at the Atlanta Grief House in Decatur, beginning January 13 and concluding on February 24, the structure for our series will follow the Five Gates of Grief and it is not necessary to read the book or prepare in any way.

Shonali Banerjee & Sascha Demerjian have a wealth of experience. Shonali Banerjee as a yoga therapist & death doula, and Sascha Demerjian as the Executive Director and co-founder of The Grief House, established originally in Portland, OR and now expanded to Atlanta, GA.

Step in. You need not grieve alone.
Reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Registration is open now at https://www.griefhouse.org/event-details/five-gates-of-grief-series-winter

This was the absolute Highlight of my Day!!! A dear student sent me their Spotify Wrapped. 😲 I was surprised and delighted! Truly grateful my music creations are being listened to. And. I was reminded that I’d really love to record a second album. I have the songs. Y’all, I am open to a benefactor! Anyone? 🤩

Another Monthly Full Moon Restorative Sound Immersion at Intown Retreat Spa & Wellness in the books. I love this Sacred Work!! Inviting folks into deep rest through conscious tenderness & care feels so important in these tremendously troubling & busy holiday times. Take a moment to pause your scroll, sit back, breathe and listen to the videos I am sharing here. These mantras, these sounds, this intentionality is life changing. Immerse yourself.

Partnering with Lisa Jordan is a dream. We’ll be collaborating again February 7, 2026.

Benny Silva will be my partner for January 3. Jan 3 is the Actual Peak of the first Full Moon of 2026. This is a powerful moment to practice and I hope you can join us. Be sure to register in advance.

This is not your typical sound bath. Yes, you will be immersed in sound frequencies but you will also be bathed in heart songs sung for precisely this moment in time.

Full Moon Restorative Song Bath, Saturday, 12/6 6-7:30p. To draw together with tender care to relax & heal. Transcendent sound, song and body practices.

Shonali, with over 20 years of teaching experience, will guide you into long held restorative yoga postures which invite your body to release & breathe again supported by bolsters, blankets, and blocks. Shonali layers a sacred song into each posture accompanied by guest teacher Lisa Jordan’s sound bowls, vocals & sacred bells. The deep drone of Shonali’s harmonium & ritual drum round out this powerful resting experience.

Come receive & take care of yourself.

This full moon practice focuses on grounding into our innate wisdom, soothing our frayed out nervous systems and cultivating care. You will be invited, as you rest, to honor your struggles as well as celebrations, to place yourself, as you are, in the waning power of the full moon.

No prior yoga experience is necessary—bring an open heart, a willingness to rest as you hold space for yourself and others.

Tuesday, December 2, 7-8:30p, at The Grief House

https://www.griefhouse.org/event-details/all-souls-post-office-1

Discover connection, support, and healing in this special activation, The All Souls’ Post Office, led by Susan Patterson, Shonali Banerjee & The Voices of Love Threshold Choir. In this meaningful gathering, participants will explore the transformative process of writing a letter to a deceased loved one.

Together, we’ll create space for honoring grief, expressing loss, and finding catharsis through writing. Atlanta’s own Voices of Love Threshold Choir will support this process with songs sung to bring comfort & peace.

The All Souls’ Post Office uses letter-writing as a simple and beautiful way to reconnect with the souls of those who have died. There are no rules about what you write, only that you leave your letter in the post office box. A vintage cabinet, literally & figuratively, holds the evidence of our communal loss, grief and new initiatives as our letters are “posted”.

Time and resources will be provided to begin writing your letters during the workshop, or you may choose to write and “post” it later as the post office will be “in residence” at The Grief House throughout the holidays and into the new year.

In the new year, letters will be burned in a special ceremony before the Post Office moves to another residency.

Should you be interested in hosting the All Souls’ Post Office in your community, contact Susan Patterson directly at goingtherewithsusan@gmail.com
