A Cup for Grief: Language for Loss, Rupture & Trauma

I’m so glad you’re here. Today’s brew is a quiet one. The kind you wrap both hands around. We’re sipping a warm cup of pu-erh, earthy, smoky, and grounding, with a whisper of rosemary.  

In today’s episode, A Cup for Grief, we reflect on how we hold space for loss, rupture, and trauma through language, through silence, through sound.

This is a tender one. Let’s breathe together. And begin.
