The Lotus GriefToolkit

Flower

 

Lotuses are known for being beautiful and thriving surrounded by muddy waters. As nice as that sounds, sometimes we are more like a dandelion in a cup of hose water that a kid brought in the house. And that is okay. It is all okay. Grief was thought to be distinct stages, at one time, but we know this is not true. It is an array of things. If anything, like a lotus, I hope this helps you find your stillness in this muddy water. I hope it helps you find oxygen.

How am I still smiling after losing both of my best friends? 

​

This is a 30-minute video where I get really deep into how grief differs from grieving, how I dealt with the various phases, the ways I managed the practical aspects of life, and some Buddhist principles that can universally undergird this difficult process.

Spiritual Disciplines need a modern update. Christian mystics who live in caves, Buddhist monks who sit on mats, Muslims who fast for 40 days, and priest that flog themselves were my introduction to spiritual disciplines when I was training to become a minister and theologian. I kept wondering what that looked like in the modern world, for Black folk who want to cry but don't have the time. For those who want to go to sleep forever but still have to make dino nuggets. What about the rest of us who are depressed but still need to clock in? We need something here, now, and ready to make our own. Some of the older ways just need to be plugged into modern ways, but some things need to be named. Diy projects...making a budget...enjoying pleasure...paint and sip... its all spiritual. Let's dive into that and try some on for size.  

Book One will include  25 things to help you tackle grief, reconstruct your faith (if you have experienced deconstruction), and to excavate joy that will help you free yourself from the grips of pain and self-doubt. It'll be a grab and go, or a deep dive, pocket manual for you to sink into. 

This ebook will have a workbook in the future, depending on interest.
