Entering the Healing Ground: The Wild Edge of Sorrow Official Workbook–Reflections, Rituals, and Meditations for Grief and Renewal

Description

The official companion to The Wild Edge of Sorrow–reflection prompts, timely exercises, and rituals of renewal for moving with grief and loss from bestselling author Francis Weller

“[The Wild Edge of Sorrow] blew me away. I underlined things on nearly every page.” –Anderson Cooper, All There Is

Inspired by Francis Weller’s revelatory bestseller, The Wild Edge of Sorrow Workbook offers a guided pathway through the sacred depths, unexpected turns, and soul-restoring work of grief.

Chapter by chapter, Weller walks readers through rituals, writing exercises, embodied practices, and guided reflections. The workbook is designed to be flexible: you can work section by section as you read the book or dip into standalone chapters that resonate with your own specific experiences. Weller invites you to cultivate a conversation with your grief, to understand your pains and losses in new and poignant ways–and he welcomes you into a deepened relationship with the anima mundi, the soul of the world.

New exercises include:

• Orientation: An apprenticeship with sorrow
• Writing practice: Supporting your grief work
• Reflection prompt: Deepening your kinship with the living earth
• Invitation: Holding a ritual space
• Journal prompts: The Five Gates of Grief

In a profoundly fractured world, Weller’s gentle and compassionate voice calls us back into ourselves–our griefs, joys, pains, and the ineffable qualities that make us human…and opens us up, once again, to the interdependence and healing connections that make us whole.
