"Rivers are places that renew our spirit, connect us to our past, and link us directly with the flow and rhythm of the natural world"
Ted Turner
Beyond the Bend
The Story Behind the Name
Water is a cleansing and nourishing element that encourages movement, flow, and healing. In Chinese Medicine theory water is the element that is connected to the kidneys and urinary bladder organs, which when out of balance are associated with the fear of letting go, and have been referred to as the channel of life and death, as they link the past and future. Water in river form shapes the land it flows through and awakens with the seasons and weather. It smooths stones, houses habitats, and calms souls. Rivers can vary in length, width, shape, movement, and direction, much like our lives throughout a lifetime.
Rivers and water have always been a natural grounding force in my life. When I think about my own grief process, water is always an element that's always present. Whether it's in tears, baths, walks by the water, or cups of tea, water realigns me and connects me back to my body, my meaning and purpose, and my people who died. It only felt right to name my practice after something that has truly nourished and supported me in my grief.
Riverbends are a beautiful representation of the experience of change and adaptation to loss. When you come to a bend in a river it's hard to see what's coming next. You never know what twists and turns could appear, and it may even take you in a completely different direction than you had planned. This is the same with life, and with death. Instead of fighting against the current or sinking to the bottom and becoming stuck, what if we could allow our grief to flow and fully experience what's beyond the bend?
