Wendy will help you take small steps out of the darkness and into a sense that “everything is going to be okay.” She’ll help you build your faith and trust in a future that is slowly emerging within and around you.
Wendy Black Stern – Transform Loss Into Life Reimagined
Transform grief into greater self-understanding, love, gratitude, and new possibilities with mindfulness and gentle somatic movement… in a supportive, compassionate virtual community.
Suffering a loss — of any kind — can be stressful, painful, and scary. We feel broken, overwhelmed, and vulnerable, as the world we knew crumbles around us.
Yet, ultimately the potent energies of these difficult emotions can be the impetus for profound transformation…
… for discovering more about who you truly are deep inside, as you experience a metamorphosis — the becoming of who you will be in the wake of your loss.
It’s not easy… and it’s quite natural to want to avoid the tsunami of feelings building within you.
In this new 7-week online journey with yoga therapist Wendy Stern, you’ll be gently and compassionately guided to open to these feelings… and learn how to release them.
Through simple mindfulness exercises, easy, yoga-based somatic movements, sharing circles, journaling, and meditation, you’ll learn how to tune in to your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies, and the emotions and sensations you hold.
You’ll discover how to track — and embrace — your evolution of identity, as you traverse the in-between place of knowing you’re not who you were, but not yet knowing who you’ll be.
You’ll discover how important it is to bring grief and its associated emotions to the surface to be healed and transformed into greater self-understanding, love, and gratitude.
Wendy will help you take small steps out of the darkness and into a sense that “everything is going to be okay.” She’ll help you build your faith and trust in a future that is slowly emerging within and around you.
Your heart will open… and you’ll begin to see the gifts in your journey — what you’re learning about yourself and the world, not in spite of your grief, but because of it.
When you can accept the part of yourself that has been forever changed, and you’re willing to sit in the fire of the unknown, Wendy teaches, you open to more love and gratitude, deeper self-knowledge, new possibilities, and a newfound purpose.
As Wendy discovered, out of your darkest pain comes your deepest love.
Over the course of this profound program, you’ll not only discover practices and tools to help break through any resistance to being with and working through your grief, you’ll also be welcomed and held by a loving and supportive virtual community that will be there for you the whole way.
Co-creating a safe container for doing this tender-hearted, important work together will be a primary focus of this course, with weekly community sharing circles guided by Wendy. Grieving in the collective offers you a reflection of your true nature and the light that can grow out of the darkness of your loss.
Welcome a Courageous & Compassionate Guide
There is no better guide to help you along this difficult path than someone who has successfully traversed it firsthand…
Wendy has faced the heartache and despair of great loss and emerged from the darkness into the light with hard-earned wisdom, adeepened sense of love, and empowering self-discoveries that have become the foundations of her teachings.
Through her own immense sadness over the loss of her 9-month-old son several years ago, she found her way “back” to a new life by melding mindfulness practices with the somatic movements of her yoga practice to create a holistic approach to grieving…
… a process that can help you gently and lovingly work through the difficult emotions of grieving… and into a new life you can treasure.
Wendy has dedicated her life’s work to supporting others in healing and transforming through the process of grief.
She has helped hundreds cross the bridge from the immense overwhelm of their grief to acceptance, letting go, deep gratitude, forgiveness, compassion, self-love, and a new reimagined life.
She shows us that from this powerful place of transformation, your newfound deepening of love and connection can ripple out to touch the lives of others.
Wendy’s is a story of transformation… a journey of healing and change. This is the true gift of grief… and it can be yours, too.

Module 1: The Power of Grieving in Community — Creating a Safe Container (September 3)
We begin this journey by co-creating a safe space for your grief to be felt, expressed, shared, and healed. Together, we’ll create a virtual circle that offers unconditional love and acceptance — where all experiences and feelings are acknowledged and validated.
You’ll learn to be a witness for yourself and others, cultivating compassion, self- awareness, and connection. Trust will be created to invite greater vulnerability and authentic sharing.
And, we’ll explore the relationship between our thoughts, emotions, spirit, and physical bodies to create a learning community in which our grief serves as a catalyst for personal growth and transformation.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- An understanding of the group’s sharing guidelines, fostering a greater sense of safety and connection to others who are grieving
- A feeling of connection within community that creates a safe container for vulnerability and sharing
- How somatic movement and mindfulness open the door to self-discovery, acceptance, and the release of difficult emotions
- How gentle yoga therapy practices can support you in bringing old wounds to the surface to be transformed into self-understanding, love, and gratitude
- An overview of the philosophy and primary teachings of mindful grieving
- 30 minutes of gentle movement to help you integrate the week’s teachings, your emotional shifts, and new self-discoveries
Module 2: Cultivating Profound Presence Through Body Awareness (September 10)
Opening to the belief that you have to “feel it to heal it,” you’ll dive deep into somatic exploration to cultivate greater presence and awareness of the sensations, thoughts, feelings, and spirit within you. You’ll learn how to track your emotions, including where they “live” in your body, and to courageously lean into your feelings, rather than avoid them.
You’ll also explore the art of holding sacred space for others and the power of being witnessed in your authentic expression. Through shared experiences of loss and a compassionate group presence, you’ll come to know and love yourself more fully.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- How to feel your grief and notice the emotions and sensations held in your body, so you can move through and release them
- Tools for cultivating greater awareness of your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies
- How to witness yourself and others and serve as a mirror and sounding board — which can ultimately open you to loving yourself more fully
- The value of grieving in the collective, which offers you a reflection of your true nature and the light that can grow out of the darkness of grief
- 30 minutes of gentle movement to help you integrate the week’s teachings, your emotional shifts, and new self-discoveries
Module 3: Unconditional Love & Acceptance — Exploring Your Relationship With Yourself (September 17)
When our hearts break open, there’s an inherent opportunity to explore our shadow aspects — those parts of ourselves we hide from or keep out of the light.
This week, through mindfulness practices and somatic exploration, you’ll learn to illuminate these shadow selves as pathways to supporting, loving, and accepting who you truly are.
Self-love is also born from acceptance of your loss — one of the most challenging aspects of the grieving process. Yet, when acceptance is connected to honoring and loving oneself through grief — regardless of how painful the circumstances — powerful transformation can occur. You can not only move through your grief, you can stop resisting yourself and your life, which opens the door to true peace.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- Greater self-understanding, compassion, and self-love through gentle yoga therapy and somatic movement
- A safe space in which to explore your authentic relationship with yourself and release old stories and self-limiting beliefs
- A greater understanding of the word “acceptance,” and support to release resistance to how your life is now
- How to listen to your heart’s desires as you explore your relationship with acceptance, forgiveness, and self-love
- 30 minutes of gentle movement to help you integrate the week’s teachings, your emotional shifts, and new self-discoveries
Module 4: Grief as a Teacher — A Journey of Transformation & Uncovering Your True Self (October 1)
The journey of grief can be a catalyst for personal growth and transformation — when we’re able to sit quietly with ourselves and receive the wisdom that can only come from within.
This week, you’ll explore what you’re learning about yourself and the world, not in spite of your grief, but because of it. You’ll learn how to open yourself to the teachings of your loss and its hidden gifts.
You’ll be supported to shed the armor that protects your heart so you can be fully seen and loved for who you are.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- The hidden teachings and gifts within the grieving process that enable you to allow more love and life to flow in

- An understanding of how you guard your heart, so you can become aware of when this is serving you and when it’s not
- 30 minutes of gentle movement to help you integrate the week’s teachings, your emotional shifts, and new self-discoveries
Module 5: The Evolution of Identity Through Loss — Opening to Who You’re Becoming (October 8)
When you experience a loss, a part of you dies — the person you once were before undergoing a metamorphosis. The identity crisis inherent in this process calls for you to grieve the loss of the old you… and at the same time, to be aware of and open to the potential of who you’re becoming.
This can feel stressful, painful, scary, and vulnerable, but ultimately it has the power to lead you to profound transformation and a newfound sense of purpose. From this powerful place, you feel greater love for and a deeper connection to yourself — gifts that can ripple outward to touch the lives of others.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- Support to explore the evolution of your identity through your experience of loss
- The “Tunnel of Terror” as a metaphor to better understand your personal evolution of identity
- Gentle guidance and support to grieve the parts of yourself that have died as you open to new parts that are ready to be birthed
- Your true heart’s desires and your emerging path and purpose
- An increased awareness of your inner spark and resiliency
- Greater authenticity as you explore who you are now, as a result of your loss
- 30 minutes of gentle movement to help you integrate the week’s teachings, your emotional shifts, and new self-discoveries
Module 6: Embracing Change — Support for Tuning In to Your Purpose (October 15)
This week, you’ll discover how grieving can open you to passion, purpose, and even a willingness to change. The new you, percolating beneath the surface, needs your attention, and you’ll receive support in stepping out of your comfort zone to try on this new identity.
You’ll learn tools and practices for gaining courage to breathe life into the parts of yourself that are ready to emerge… exploring what brings you joy, connects you to others — and yourself — and ignites passion and purpose.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- Guidance to explore your dreams, desires, and fears around change
- Mindfulness and somatic movement practices to explore where you’re holding back and how to let go
- The blocks that hinder your process of change and how to help your soul’s purpose be realized

- 30 minutes of gentle movement to help you integrate the week’s teachings, your emotional shifts, and new self-discoveries
Module 7: Planting Seeds for Transformation — Creating Positive Change in Your Life (October 22)
As you open to the energy of renewal and step into your new life with greater intention, you find that it is possible to hold joy and grief, love and pain, and to honor all aspects of yourself fully.
You’ve created space for the fullness of your grief experience and arrived at your center — the integration of the old and new you. You can truly feel your wholeness as a person, are better able to stay present, and can ride the currents of your transformation with greater ease.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- That the process of renewal is a returning to yourself — again and again — to re-evaluate and honor what you feel, think, believe, and know yourself to be

Broken Open
Audio Dialogue With Mirabai Starr and Elizabeth Lesser
Loss breaks you open, yet it can awaken you to new and radically authentic ways of being.
