Testimonials
Marialicia has a huge heart and is gifted in the ways of holding space for the exploration of grief, which is rare and hugely impactful and deeply felt when you realize that grieving is not something most of us understand or allow ourselves to do.
- Claire B
Marialicia’s workshops are well structured with thoughtful individual and group work. I was ushered into a safe place where I could more easily access my feelings. I really loved the experience and have highly recommended it to others.
- Jonathan C.
Rarely are we given the opportunity to sit quietly and listen to our grief. With Marialicia’s workshop, I felt my grief validated and held without having to justify why it is still with me. I walked away with so much to think about and work on and can’t wait to take her entire course!
- Korin R.
The grief workshop with Marialicia was sweet and supportive. She has such a beautiful, poetic way with words that really speaks straight to the heart. I felt held & seen. Thank you for allowing a space to step into the process of processing.
- Melissa L.
Grieving is not a skill that comes naturally, even though it’s experienced in our lifetime. Spending my day with Marialicia and a group of people that shared similar sadness was one of the greatest gifts of this year. I plan to repeat with her as those things will continue to show up.
