Self-empathy: mourning as a path to liberation – Elzyte Vareikyte

As my personal journey of unschooling myself and rediscovering my authenticity continues, I am becoming more and more familiar with the space of mourning. In facing moments and memories where there are no possible ways to change things, mourning has become a healing space for me – one that opens toward light, softness, and renewed aliveness.

In this session I want to invite us into a collective space of mourning – a conversation with the pain that lives in you. Let this be a place to meet all the seasons of the heart: grief, resistance, heaviness, longing, numbness, beauty, and everything in between. Together, we will explore mourning as a pathway to self-acceptance, love and freedom to the mind and body.

About the trainer:

Elzytė Vareikytė

As far as I remember I had been passionate about two things: learning and human relationship. Discovering Non-violent communication (NVC) six years ago has profoundly transformed my relationships with myself and others. Today I’m immersing myself in the daily practice of living empathy, assisting multiple NVC courses as well as offering NVC-based workshops and one-on-one sessions. 

Over the past three years, I have also been on a journey toward radical authenticity – coming back to the most sincere version of my being. Currently self-researching my relationship with rest and how non-monogamy lives in me, while deepening my connection to cycle awareness, PMDD, and practices that support living in attunement with my menstrual cycle.

Living between Europe and India, I embrace a slow life in harmony with nature
