Publisher's Synopsis
The official companion to The Wild Edge of Sorrow-reflection prompts, timely exercises, and rituals of renewal for moving with grief and loss from bestselling author Francis Weller
"[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.
