" The Wild Edge of Sorrow blew me away. I underlined things on nearly every page." -Anderson Cooper, All There Is
Inspired by Francis Weller's revelatory bestseller, The Wild Edge of Sorrow Workbook offers a guided pathway through the sacred depths, unexpected turns, and soul-restoring work of grief.
Chapter by chapter, Weller walks readers through rituals, writing exercises, embodied practices, and guided reflections. The workbook is designed to be flexible- you can work section by section as you read the book or dip into standalone chapters that resonate with your own specific experiences. Weller invites you to cultivate a conversation with your grief, to understand your pains and losses in new and poignant ways-and he welcomes you into a deepened relationship with the anima mundi, the soul of the world.
New exercises include-
Orientation- An apprenticeship with sorrow
Writing practice- Supporting your grief work
Reflection prompt- Deepening your kinship with the living earth
Invitation- Holding a ritual space
Journal prompts- The Five Gates of Grief
In a profoundly fractured world, Weller's gentle and compassionate voice calls us back into ourselves-our griefs, joys, pains, and the ineffable qualities that make us human...and opens us up, once again, to the interdependence and healing connections that make us whole.
