YOU’RE INVITED
The E-Motion Movement Community is a movement-based community for anyone enduring the life-disrupting loss of a close person(s). Once per week, participants will come together for a walk or run, and are led through intentional grief practices that invite us to move with the hardest things, as opposed to moving on from them. The group will provide community where otherwise there is often isolation. Runners and walkers of all levels are welcome.
THE DETAILS
Trained E-Motion Facilitators: Becky Nyce Silva, Jonathan’s Sister, and Betsy Sullivan, Flynn’s Mom.
Duration: Sunday, September 15 – Sunday, November 24
Day, Time, & Location: Meet in person every Sunday at 10am at Heartbreak Running Co. in Newton, MA.
Culminating Event: Participate in the Chatham 10k on November 24th. Friends and family are welcome to come support you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The experience combines three core aspects that participants move through together over the duration of the experience: a weekly email, a weekly group walk/run, and a culminating event that the participants complete together.
Weekly Group Meet-Up: Participants meet in person for a group walk/run, starting with the E-motion Opening Circle Rituals and a facilitated grief-informed conversation.
Weekly Grief Reflection & Contemplations: Participants receive a weekly email that includes a grief ritual and reflections, a solo training walk/run for that week, and a poem.
Culminating Event: At the end of the experience, the participants are invited to complete a movement-based culminating experience together.
