Grief, Creativity, Unproductivity & Bees: Getting Into the Feels with Rosalie Amber Grace

For our first interview of 2024 we got to dive into the softer and juicier side of things with creative, Rosalie Amber Grace. Rosalie is a Fertility Awareness Educator, poet, beekeeper, somatic student and devotee. She’s been channeling her feelings into poetry and writing since she could hold a pen. She’s an apprentice to the creative process, and a student of the nervous system. She recently published a poetry book which was a hard and beautiful process of overcoming her perfectionism and fear of being seen.  She wants to create a space for creatives to be held in exploring and nourishing their relationship to their creativity through a somatic lens.

Our conversation flowed through all the feelings as we discussed the grief process, "unfreezing" yourself and your emotions, and reminding ourselves what it means to be human. What a perfect way to settle in to a new year. It was such a treat to get to know Rosalie's heart and if you connect with her like we did, you can join her next healing group online this week!
