Warm Words

“Our sessions were a pillar of strength and light in a really dark time. Tasha made me feel so seen, so held and so safe to just be with my grief”

—Anne

“I was hesitant to participate in this ceremony. However, Tasha came highly recommended by friends that I trust. I am so thankful that I did not shy away from attending. I feel blessed to have been a part of the group. As a result, I believe it has made a real positive impact as I continue to move forward in this world.Tasha, you are one of only a handful of extraordinary human beings that can even attempt to do this type of work. You are so special and I am deeply grateful.”

“I loved the singing bowls paired with her singing, WOW! Tasha is a beautiful old soul with a light so bright and warm. I am so grateful and honored that I was FINALLY able to have this experience I longed for after being in more sterile “parent loss groups” since my Apá got sick and then died. I learned so many lessons and wonderful wisdom from Tasha. If you ever have the opportunity to be with her in her offerings, please do. Thank you, Tasha for being a teacher to me in my very heavy grief.”

—Lupe

“The grief ceremony hosted by Tasha was a very new and impactful experience for me. I so appreciate the sanctioned space that was created to allow our group to be fully open and vulnerable. It was in that space that I found myself feeling relieved, comforted, and overall, just better. For anyone working with and through grief, I’d highly recommend sitting in on a ceremony like this…totally worth it.”

—Wilds

“Being held in the Mother Loss Retreat experience was deeply soul shifting. Never, in the history of life, have I had a sacred place strictly to allow grief to be expressed. What an incredibly important part of being human. Thank you Tasha for your medicine, your presence and your love. For anyone grieving, this is an opportunity your soul is calling for. Nurture your grief, you deserve it.’”

—Niki

“Sitting in ceremony that Tasha so graciously facilitated was fulfilling and so supportive. Grief is different for everyone and it's a forever ongoing energy that ebbs, flows and constantly changes. Tasha led us through a beautiful ceremony where we were all held, heard and seen in a safe and inclusive space . Her empathy and deep passion for this work was evident. I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with her and the others in our circle and would completely recommend her work to anyone experiencing loss or grief of any kind.”

—Sarah

“I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I was sitting amongst the lovely women in our beautiful circle. Every moment was a new experience but felt like a familiar home that I had been longing for. The work was extremely heavy but I never felt so light after the closing ceremony. I would do this work over and over again. Tasha created such a safe space and welcomed each of us in with open arms. We invited the mothers to sit with us and I haven’t felt that close to my mom in many moons. All of our mothers were there and I now feel closer than ever to her. I showed up alone and left with many sisters. Thank you Tasha, you are going to continue to heal the world, one soul at a time.”

—Nae

“Thank you so much Tasha for creating sacred space for honoring grief in a culture that so often seeks to avert its gaze from the very real pain of grief, which all of us, if we have not yet felt it, are bound to experience sooner or later as an intrinsic process in the cycle of life. ”

—Antonia

“Tasha has the most amazing energy. From the first moment I saw her when I arrived and she said hello to me, I could feel the amazing, gentle and welcoming energy exuding from her.”

—Nicole

“Tasha tends to my grief— she does. I first connected with her about a month after my mama died. I was in the first trimester of pregnancy, and feeling overall nauseous and uncentered, ripped open and raw. Having her video calls scheduled was one of the touchstones that helped pull me through the weeks in an otherwise upheaved blur of time. Where so many of my well-intended friends dodged talking about my mama, didn’t want to bring her or her death up, as to avoid my tears, wanted me to stay in the sunshine, Tasha held space for me to tell her anything and everything that came to mind regarding my mother’s passing, daily life without her, some random perfect memory of her, anything. There is something so simple yet exactly right about actually looking at death, holding eye contact with it, even if it makes us uncomfortable. I needed that so much, to have someone look at this death with me, and just sit with that. In those first tender months of mother loss, I felt so seen and held by Tasha. She had words for me when I had none. She was familiar with the terrain where I was a stumbling foreigner. Having just lost my main woman on this planet, my daily person to check in with and be held by, it felt so very important to find Tasha, someone to be seen by, someone to check in on me. I feel proud of myself for having enough energy to reach out for a lifeline when I felt the surges of this perfect storm swallowing me. Something as simple as someone holding space and allowing grief. Allowing it. And acknowledging it. As the months have turned into the better part of a year, I have continued to rely on my communications with Tasha as a safe and assured place to openly share about my mother loss process. A buoy in the sea of grief. I am grateful for her guidance as a learn to love my mother in this new reality and dimension. She has guided me to redefine the potential boundaries of my relationship to my mama, no longer in flesh and the physical, but as an ancestor, a guardian so deeply connected to me from anther realm. ”

—Serena

—Danielle

“My experience attending the grief ceremony was absolutely life changing. It allowed me a safe space to grieve and share my story with other women feeling the same as I. Tasha is absolutely incredible at what she does, and has a voice of an angel. I can only hope to attend another one of her events”
