Grief Writing: Sacred Tools for Navigating Liminal Space

Grief Writing: Sacred Tools for Navigating Liminal Space

This course offers therapeutic writing and reading practices as compassionate, practical tools to help participants process their own grief and, in turn, support others.

Through journaling (including Lucia Cappachione’s Creative Journaling), the Unsent Letter, poetry (reading and writing), and grief memoir, you will learn accessible approaches that require no prior writing experience and can be used with both adults and children.

Therapeutic writing is a powerful, low-cost, and deeply empowering self-help practice; a space where nothing is judged or rushed, and where honest expression can awaken inner wisdom and resilience.

Meet Your Facilitator

Reverend Eva Mary Spevack is a OneSpirit Interfaith minister and spiritual counsellor who was ordained in 2024.
x
Before that, she worked in a variety of artistic and therapeutic roles: leading expressive writing workshops in mental health settings; teaching Piano, Speech and Drama, and Music Theatre; researching liminality in fairy tales and children’s fantasy novels; volunteering in care homes, a hospice, a soup kitchen, and with underprivileged children; and caring for her parents – all whilst living with chronic health challenges and disability herself.
 
Eva Mary is an empathic interspiritual seeker and warm guide who combines deep knowledge of the therapeutic potential of the literary arts with a lifetime of sojourning in the landscape of grief. As a child, writing and reading helped her to want to stay alive when the griefs she was experiencing were almost too much to bear.
