Chaos Reigns – Poverty & Grief
Growing up poor, going hungry, or struggling to meet your basic needs can create deep and invisible wounds. These experiences shape how you see the world, how safe you feel in your body, and how worthy you believe you are of receiving abundance.
What makes it unique?
What do we grieve?
How does that grief affect us?
What prevents us from engaging with that grief?
How does our grief connect us and bring us together?
