However, many students come from cultures from where there are rich cultural practices surrounding grief, that are communal in nature. This workshop aims to provide space for students to discuss the various ways that unresolved grief can show up in our mind, bodies and spirit. Allowing for discussion of cultural and normalized practices, while sharing a cup of tea.
