What is a Graceful Passages workshop?

Because the world keeps changing evermore rapidly, continuing to demand more and more adaptation, we now need new tools and systems to help us respond positively and evolve more quickly.
So, would you like to come back online and feel life pulsing through you again?
Because YOU at your BEST is what the world needs most right now!
Graceful Passages: From Grief to Gratitude is the first-ever workshop based on the globally-acclaimed resource on Grief Literacy created by Gary Malkin with the pioneering healing team of Michael and Doris Stillwater.
We’ve learned that the ultimate liberation in life comes from confronting our losses, embracing our fears, and becoming flexible with life’s changes in order to step into these extraordinary times with:
- greater courage
- presence
- gratitude
- purpose
- and joy.
WE’LL HELP YOU TO EMBRACE
“YOUR ONE, WILD, AND PRECIOUS LIFE.”
Evolution happens when we’re pushed to become a higher-order version of ourselves … Imagine the caterpillar’s surprise when it becomes a beautiful butterfly!
Our 4-step Chrysalis process will teach you to:
- Cultivate all forms of your human intelligences as experienced through your Body, Mind, and Soul, converging into your unique and innate Vibrational Intelligence (VQ).
- Allow the transformative “medicine” of music to assist you in feeling and broadening your emotional range. As you ease into the landscapes of loss, you can release inhibiting beliefs and open to cathartic revelations about what and who matters most to you in your life.
- Use the Infinity Wave, a dynamic, energetic tool that accelerates direct access to love and compassion to ease the discomfort of change, connect you to the Source, and reinstate flow and grace to your system. It works hand-in-hand with music to evoke transformation on every level.
- Immerse yourself in inspiring modalities for transmuting loss into liberation, resistance into acceptance, and fear into peace so you can reclaim an acute awareness of life’s preciousness and experience greater joy and connectedness to all of life.
Your“one precious life”is happening right now and there’s not a moment to waste in restoring it to wonder, peace, gratitude, and happiness!
We invite you to be nurtured with an intimate gathering of heart-centered seekers in the next Graceful Passages workshop.
“The healing effect of this music and these words on our mind/body cannot be overestimated… Graceful Passages touches us where it matters most.”
“If you are going through challenges, or helping others going through transitions of any kind, I highly recommend Graceful Passages. The music is extraordinary, the spoken wisdom is timeless, and the gift book is exquisite. Let this masterpiece of healing music and inspiring words be an audio sanctuary for your soul and a priceless gift to share with someone you love.”
“Graceful Passages invites us to listen to the depths of our being, in sickness or health. This is a true liturgy of soul, a blessing for the caregivers, companions and family of those in transition. The beauty of music, word and spirit brings us to the world of Grace.”
“I enjoyed the workshop with Hope and Gary, and it was informative, interesting and engaging within a safe space. A few days later, I noticed a positive shift in myself, feeling greater inner peace and a clearer focus on what’s next, including shifting my diet and the people I interact with. Thank you so much for opening the space for this shift; however, they’ve happened!”
