There's No Right Way to Grieve
When you lose someone or something you love, the world doesn't just feel different. It is different. The landscape you knew has changed, and there's no map for the new one.
Some days you're steady. Then a song plays in the grocery store, or you reach for the phone to call them, and the ground gives way all over again.
You may be more tired than you've ever been. Your chest may feel heavy, your thoughts foggy, your sleep broken. You might wonder why you feel this physically, months or even years later.
And somewhere along the way, someone has probably suggested, kindly or not, that it's time to move on.
But grief doesn't work on a timeline. And it isn't something you're meant to "get over."
It doesn't move in a straight line, either. Grief circles. It eases, and then it returns, sometimes just when you thought you were doing better. That isn't a sign you're doing it wrong. It's simply how grief moves.
Grief changes us. Over time, we learn to carry both the love and the loss and to find our way in a world that looks different from the one we knew before.
That's what this class is about. It won't make the grief disappear. It will give you gentle, practical ways to support yourself and the people you love as you carry it.
And with the holidays just ahead, this weekend is a gentle way to prepare for a season that can hold some of the hardest days of the year.
Grief Takes Many Forms
For many of us, grief begins with the death of someone we love: a spouse, a parent, a dear friend, a beloved animal companion.
But grief comes in other forms, too. It can follow a long illness, and the quiet ache of wondering whether you'll ever feel well again. It can come with the end of a relationship, a role you once held, your independence, or the life you thought you would have. Some of us carry grief for the world itself, and for what our children and grandchildren are facing.
Grief can be new or many years old. It can arrive suddenly, or slowly, long before a loss has even happened. However it has come to you, it is real, and it deserves care.
Grief Lives in Your Body, Not Only in Your Heart
…the only place Donna answers your questions live!
Here's something most people are never told: grief isn't only an emotion. It moves through your whole energy system.
That's why grief can feel so physical. It shows up as exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix, a weight in your chest, a fog that makes simple tasks hard, or a feeling of being unsteady on your feet.
Eden Energy Medicine offers a different way of understanding what's happening. When you can see how grief moves through your energies, and where you may be holding it, you're no longer at the mercy of every wave. You have something to do.
Right now, the question on your heart may be, "How do I stop feeling this?" That's a completely natural question when grief hurts this much.
Over this weekend, you'll learn to ask a gentler one, a question that gives you somewhere to begin:
"What is my energy showing me today, and what does this part of me need?"
As Michelle and Maddie put it: "We are not learning how to stop grieving. We are learning how to support our energies while we grieve."
The tools are simple. Many take just a few minutes and use only your own hands. You don't need any experience with energy medicine. Everything is taught step by step, so you can use these tools the next time a wave rises, in the middle of the night, or on a hard anniversary.
Here's one example. When we hear hard news, many of us instinctively bring a hand to our forehead. Donna calls the points there the "Oh My God!" points. They're neurovascular holding points, and when you hold them gently and with intention, they can help calm your body's stress response. It's one of the simplest things you can do when a wave of grief comes. You'll practice these holds in class, and you'll receive a full guide to them as a bonus.
Over the weekend, Michelle and Maddie will teach you a whole collection of gentle practices like this. You'll learn grounding techniques for when the world feels unsteady. You'll learn shock points and ways to calm Triple Warmer, the energy system that governs your fight-or-flight response, for when your whole system feels overwhelmed. You'll learn Wind points for the waves that seem to come out of nowhere, and practices for deeper-held grief, including the Three Portals of Grief.
By the end of the weekend, you'll bring them together into your own Personal Grief Energy Toolkit, one you can draw from as your needs change.
A Compass, Not a Set of Stages
Many of us were taught that grief moves through stages, one after another. But real grief rarely follows a map. It circles, shifts, moves away, and returns, while we keep adapting to a life that has changed. Michelle and Maddie call this the Grief Spiral.
So instead of stages, this class gives you a compass.
Using the Five Rhythms of Eden Energy Medicine, also known as the Five Elements, you'll learn to recognize how grief is expressing itself in you on any given day. It might show up as fear, anger, worry, deep sadness, or heartbreak. Each one calls for a different kind of support, and you'll learn what your energy needs in response.
A wave can rise and settle again without taking your whole day. You may feel more grounded, calmer, and more able to meet the hard moments.
And slowly, in its own time, there is room for joy again. Not instead of your grief, but alongside it.
Joy comes back in small moments: smiling at a photo of your dog, or stopping in your tracks at a maple tree in full fall color, sometimes right after a wave of grief. Grief can live alongside every other feeling, including joy.
This class will help you process your deep emotions and find your way back to center so you can recognize grief but not let it overtake you.
We'll Begin With Donna Eden
Donna Eden has been a pioneer in energy medicine since 1977. She'll open the weekend with a personal welcome and set the stage for two days of learning, care, and community.
Your Teachers Have Walked This Path Too
This class is taught by two teachers who bring decades of energy medicine expertise to the subject of grief. They also bring something just as important: both have known deep loss in their own lives.
MICHELLE EARNEST, EEM-AP RN/APRN, FNP-BC, MSN, DMin
For more than 40 years, Michelle has been a board-certified nurse practitioner. She has also served as a hospital and hospice chaplain, and she holds a Doctorate in Ministry. She has spent much of her life at the bedsides of people and families moving through illness, loss, and goodbye.
An Eden Energy Medicine Advanced Practitioner, Michelle is a faculty member and former Director of Education for the Eden Method Certification Program. Her gift is bringing the medical, energetic, and spiritual dimensions of healing together in ways that are practical and deeply human.
Grief has been woven through her life both personally and professionally. It has taught her that grief isn't a problem to solve or a journey with a predictable destination. It is something we learn to live with, and it changes us.
"I love watching Michelle teach! She is a bright light and exceptional in her passion for making everything so understandable and clear. We are so lucky to have her, and her students are lucky too." Donna Eden, Creator of the Eden Method
MADISON (MADDIE) KING, EEM-AP
Maddie is one of Donna Eden's original students and has worked alongside her for nearly forty years. She was the first person to teach Eden Energy Medicine in Europe. She founded and ran the official European School of Eden Energy Medicine for fourteen years and served as Head of Donna's Advanced Programmes in Europe and the United States. She is also the author of nine books.
Maddie draws on her own deep experience of loss. She believes grief isn't something we simply "get over." Instead, we gently find a way to live alongside our loss, riding its waves and discovering a new way forward.
"Madison has the ability to make you feel at ease with everything she teaches. She embodies the essence of calm." Heidi Grillo, Reflexologist, Scotland
Imagine Having Something to Reach For
Grief will still come in waves. But imagine what it would feel like to meet those waves differently.
Imagine having a simple way to steady yourself when grief rises without warning, so a hard moment doesn't have to become a hard day.
Imagine understanding what your body has been carrying, so the exhaustion, heaviness, and fog make sense and you know how to support yourself through them.
Imagine knowing how to help someone you love who is grieving. That might be a parent, a sibling, a partner, or a friend. Instead of feeling helpless, you'd have something gentle to offer, and ways to care for your own energy so you don't become depleted along the way.
Imagine finding moments of balance, and even joy, again and letting yourself feel lighter without feeling like you're leaving your loved one behind.
Imagine having your own Personal Grief Energy Toolkit to return to on anniversaries, holidays, and ordinary Tuesdays when you miss them most.
You Can Help the People You Love, Too
Many of us are grieving alongside our families. When you lose a spouse, your children lose a parent. When you lose a parent, your siblings are grieving too. Sometimes the grief isn't ours at all, and we're watching someone we love struggle while wishing we knew how to help. And caring for someone who is grieving can quietly drain us, too.
The Eden Energy Medicine tools you'll learn in this class are ones you can use for yourself and share with others. Many can be done gently, hand to hand, with someone you love. Michelle and Maddie will also share gentle considerations for supporting children and animal companions through loss.

What Students Say About Learning
With Michelle and Maddie
“Thanks so much for that last grief exercise! With advanced autoimmune, I had to learn to cry without tears - it was tricky to grieve for years.”
Camille Call
“I did this every day for years and stopped when in shock over my son’s passing. This feels amazing! Thank you Joao!!!”
Sharesa
“I felt the back of my heart chakra
open up so much with the grief one!”
Nasim Hoomanrad
"Wow got a pop and felt my neck release compression releasing that grief”
Lawrence Yves
“When my Stepfather (who had been in my life since I was 15) passed, the shock knocked me sideways as I had only been video calling with him a few hours before, he was young and in apparent good health. It was a midnight call, during Covid and I was in Spain with closed borders. In a split second my entire life changed. The loss was excruciating BUT I see now there was a huge ‘gift’ from him in his ‘timing’ ! I found my way through with a lot of help from Donna’s techniques and some of that I want to share with you in our time together today.”
Maddie King
“Thank you Dondi, Camille and Joao for a profoundly informative training about Trauma and Shock. I can easily see my life improving with the exercises after the isolation from friends and family and the loss of connection with a much beloved daughter. I now feel I have concrete tools to bring myself back to me, Thank you all so much.”
Beverley Brown

This class takes place in early November, just before it begins. You'll leave the weekend with tools in your hands and a practice of your own, ready for the gatherings, the traditions, and the quiet moments when you miss them most.
And you don't have to carry this alone. For two days, you'll be learning alongside others who understand, guided by two teachers who have been where you are.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any experience with energy medicine?
No. This class is open to everyone, and every technique is taught step by step. Many people who join Eden Method classes come with no background in energy medicine at all.
My loss is very recent. Am I ready for this?
Go gently with yourself. Nothing is required of you in this class. You can keep your camera off, listen, rest, and step away whenever you need to. You'll have lifetime access to the recordings, so they'll be there whenever you're ready. Come as you are.
My loss was years ago. Is this still for me?
Yes. Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and many people carry a loss quietly for years. These tools can support you wherever you are.
I'm grieving something other than a death. Is this class for me?
Yes. Grief comes in many forms, and the class begins by honoring them. Your grief may follow a change in your health, a relationship, a role, your independence, or the life you imagined. You are welcome here.
Can I use what I learn to help someone else who is grieving?
Yes. Many of the tools can be shared with family members and friends, and the class includes gentle considerations for supporting children and animal companions, too. You'll also learn ways to care for your own energy while you care for someone else.
Will I have to share or speak in front of others?
Never. Participation is entirely up to you. Our team manags the chat, and you're welcome to simply watch and practice along.
Is this a replacement for grief counseling or medical care?
No. This class offers energy medicine tools that support you alongside any counseling, medical, or spiritual care you receive. It isn't a substitute for them.
What if I can't attend live?
Every session is recorded, and you'll have lifetime access to the recordings, so you can watch on your own schedule and return to them whenever you need.
I'm a practitioner. Will this help me support grieving clients?

Read what ordinary people have to say about how the routine changed their lives:
Liz Crichton
Cured allergies and helped husband's diabetes...
I totally cured my 'allergies' . I was allergic to all solanaceas and onions and garlic and wine and ( longer term) cats which was cured too and surprised me even more! It seems to have made my vibration higher and it was very easy to turn to a plant-based diet. Husband followed suit and cured his Type 2 diabetes with a mixture of both.
Anki Rosén
Reduced her thyroid medication...
I have a skeptical mind but am also pragmatic :), so I started doing The Daily Energy Routine every morning. Within a year I didn't need as much medicine for my Thyroid as before (more than 10 years). The Daily Energy Routine was my only change of life style, and after 1 year, my need for Thyroid medicine (Levaxin) was reduced from 100 mg to 75 mg. And during the next year down even more. Now I take 60-65 mg (microgram) per day.
Alison van der Steen
Helped with large
cancerous tumor
When I started doing the Daily Energy Routine, I had a large cancerous tumour. I was also supporting myself with emotional work and diet and I did have chemo but the doctors were still astounded when 6 months after diagnosis the tumour was gone and the tissue was subsequently found to be totally normal with no scarring. I know for sure the Daily Energy Routine was a critical part of my body’s immune system recovery.
