Let's start the year by creating a space for grieving together.
This will be the first in a series of spaces for grieving together in 2023.
Grief is a door opener to vitality, beauty and courage. Every grief has its own intelligence and medicine. Our tears often open new doors to ourselves. This first meeting of the new year is an introduction to the space for shared grief. Songs, stories and content will be part of our gathering.
For me, grief is a love letter to life, a deep access to the life force, the beauty of life and follows one of the most natural intelligences I know, or as Toko-pa Turner writes in her book Belonging:
"We mourn for the loved ones we have lost. We mourn the loss of our abilities due to illness or old age. We mourn the loss of faith in our religion. We mourn our children leaving home. We mourn the paths we did not take. We mourn the family we never had. We mourn the suffering on our planet. But even though grief looks like an expression of pain that serves no purpose, it is actually the soul's recognition of what we value. Grief is the honor we pay to that which we hold dear. And only by connecting to what we hold dear can we know how to move forward. In this way, grief is a movement."
An event by
JANNA SCHNEEWITTA REHBEIN
"My work is inspired by my teachers Francis Weller, Martin Prechtl, the International School of Temple Arts, Isabel Knauf, Sobonfu Somé, Judith Wilhelm- Wildnisschule Wildeshausen, Louise Claire and especially by Elke and Aaron Leopthin-Gerwert, as well as the supporters Filiz Telek and Lotan Saphir and numerous other friends, loved ones and my family."
Janna Schneewitta Rehbein, Dipl. Kunsttherapeutin / Master of Art in Context, accompanies people in transitions, sabbaticals, accompanies mourning processes and, above all, creates spaces for shared mourning in various formats, such as multi-day mourning fires and mourning rituals. For her, grief work is a deep access to joie de vivre and vitality and follows a natural intelligence.
Already during her studies, she devoted herself to the topics of grief and memory and explored different concepts of life and communities. After realizing various international art and exhibition projects, she led seminars worldwide and built networks of young people. She designed Engegament colleges and seminar leader trainings and accompanied countless people in situations of upheaval.

NOTES ON THE EVENT
The aims of our events are to learn together as a group and support shared processes as well as personal development. Couples and all other types of partnerships or constellations are welcome, but you should be aware and open to the fact that the courses are not designed as partnership experiences and that we address each person as an individual. For example, in order to include all participants equally, we usually work with random partner combinations in the exercises. This means that there will be both the same and different gender combinations. Participants should generally be open to working with any person and any body. Exceptions can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Gender identity, sexual orientation, age or membership of marginalized groups such as BBIPoC, migrants, refugees, LGBTQIA*, people with disabilities, etc. are not criteria when registering and selecting participants.
We expect you to be careful, communicative, consent-oriented and mindful, and we encourage you to respect your own boundaries and self-responsibility.
Hate speech will not be tolerated. Please bring "candy speech".
We reserve the right to ask participants to leave the workshop should their behavior be hurtful or too problematic, and we reserve the right to do so without explanation - although we will likely try to explain. Workshop fees would then be refunded in full. Further claims are then excluded.
We do our best to accommodate different needs, but our resources are limited. If in doubt, please contact us.
