Grief Alchemy
Grief Alchemy™ teaches college students to approach activism through a grief-informed lens. Activism isn't only about confronting past or present injustices; it’s about preventing future harm by addressing today’s inequities. Grief Alchemy™ encourages students to expand their understanding of grief, moving beyond immediate or tangible losses to include the fear of future loss. Whether it’s preventing the loss of lives due to inequitable healthcare, defending freedom from legal injustice, or safeguarding privacy against data misuse, participants are trained to protect against future losses. By recognizing how grief influences activism, students learn to be informed by grief rather than driven by it. Through transforming their relationship to grief and trauma, they become more effective advocates for social transformation. Upon completing the program, students are certified as Grief Alchemists™, empowering them to teach others this compassionate, transformative approach.
