GRIEF DANCE RITUAL
To move what’s stuck is to remember what’s still alive in us.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH, 9-11AM PT
A FREE ONLINE (LIVE + RECORDED) CLASS & Q+R WITH ADRIANA RIZZOLO
Grief, rage, and aliveness are threads of the same tapestry.
In this ritual, we gather to be with what is: grief that asks to be felt, rage that wants to move, and the aliveness that waits beneath both. Through dance (movement anyone can do — or imagine), sound, meditation, and rest, we create a sacred container for release, remembrance, and return.
To honor what hurts is to open the doorway to love.
What We’ll Explore
→ Building safety in our systems through pleasure
→ Moving grief and rage as energies of truth and vitality
→ Finding ground in community and connection
→ Resting into the creative fire beneath our sorrow
No dance experience needed. All bodies, all states of being, are welcome.
Why We Gather
❤ For those who channel grief into power and anger into purpose, who refuse to shrink.
❤ For the healing, revolutionary, deeply-felt energy of being seen, heard, and held.
❤ When we show up together to dance and rest, our creativity, grounded in community, can guide us back to our bodies, hearts, and soul’s purpose.
In Body Temple Community, we affirm the human experience for the sake of liberation, both personal and collective.
Trauma lives in the body as defensive patterns. In this ritual, we learn to listen to your body’s languages, working with them as medicine rather than mistake.
Honoring the dead and dying, being with what hurts, and what heals us, helps us open to more love. To alchemize pain into the fuel for the fire of your purpose, which is to LOVE.

I’m Adriana and I am here to hold Love Herself as the highest guiding light in our lives. Learning how to stay centered, and how to find your center in the midst of chaos and change…is our specialty.
Given the state of the world, it makes sense that we have to commit to the inner work to be able to access the joy, worth, play, pleasure, and purpose that is our birthright.
Freedom and love live within, and the body is a vessel to allow the Love of Source to move into this world. We know just how to help you create safety in your system so you can gather the tools you need to feel free in your body. Maybe you feel this is the year that is pivotal for your growth and expansion as a practitioner and/or artist and change agent in your life.
If you are looking for a community that refuses to buy into the systems that say we should fear our body or that keep us stuck in cycles of unworthiness and smallness, you are in the right place!
Join us to receive a deeply embodied and spiritual initiation into fully feeling and moving through grief, rage, and longing toward living aliveness. This ritual is a container for transformation, ancestral reconnection, relational healing, and creative rebirth.
There will also be time for your questions, whether about this ritual or about Unleashed.
If you’ve been curious about stepping deeper into this work, bring your questions, your wonderings, and your hesitations, and we’ll explore them together.
