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 writing exercises, embodied practices, guided reflections, and rituals from The Wild Edge of Sorrow . 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.

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.
