2024 is on and everything has changed.
My first pregnancy closed in the welcoming of a new baby girl to our home and our lives. Adeona Hazel Ackerman was born on January 18, 2024 at 4:36 am in the midst of the Portland ice storm. That’s right… two Capricorns under one roof.
Though I’ll speak more about the pregnancy, birth, and motherhood through future posts, my intention with this one is just to drop back in and share announcements and set expectations for the future of my offerings and our potential work together.
First of all, you’ll notice that I’m now on Substack. I’m excited about this platform because it’s focused on long form writing and community building. Though I’ll continue to be on Instagram and share about happenings there, I will use this platform to write and share deeper dives into content, course material, and resources for grievers and healers supporting grievers.
Second of all, I’ll be adding a few things this year:
For Grievers:
Virtual Grief Ritual / Month starting in April. More information coming soon!
Seasonal Grief Rituals with Float North, PDX. These are small group rituals that will happen every three months and will be held at Float North. They will be held on Tuesdays, 6pm - 8pm and will be held on the following dates:
March 12
June 4th
September 3rd
December 3rd
6-month Grief Ritual. This will be an intimate closed group gathering monthly for grief ritual. Because we will be the same group meeting monthly, we will be able to build much deeper rapport and thus dive more deeply into our healing as a community. This will take place on the third Tuesdays of the month from 6:30 - 8:30pm. Email me to learn more and sign up at alyssarosehealingarts@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @alyssarosehealing.
Hopewell House Grief Ritual: Third Wed’s of the month starting in April from 6:30-8:30pm. Open to the public and by-donation.
Grief & Psychedelic Integration Meetup at Tabor Space: Third Monday’s of the month 6:30 - 8:30pm via Portland Psychedelic. Register on Meetup.
Newsletter, course content, and resourcing: This will all be available through substack. I’ll be writing regularly (hopefully weekly) which will be available to all, and I’ll be sharing even more for paid subscribers! I’m excited to build this community and resource library with you. Please feel free to connect with me directly so I can address your challenges and needs.
For Healers:
For The Healer Mentorship & Training: Launching in April, I’ll be accepting six healers and care professionals into the 12-week program. This program consists of weekly 1:1 sessions as well as a weekly group call to support you in building your heart-based business and developing your skillset for supporting people through life transitions and grieving. Email or Dm me to learn more and register.
Newsletter, content, and course material: I’ll be leveraging this new platform to create and share content that dives deeper into supporting grievers. Though much of this will be free content, I’ll also be developing more detailed resources for you that paid subscribers will have access to.
I’m excited to be here. I’m excited to be creating family and community that spans generations. I am excited to explore how to weave and balance work and life, and to see what creative buds burst forth this season.
Thank you for all your work and for being here. I look forward to connecting in new ways with you.
