Lost and Found: Reconnecting with Sensuality After Loss with Amy Pickett-Williams
June 10, 2026, 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.
(VIRTUAL SESSION) Zoom link will be sent to registrants only.
Explore how grief and trauma impact our relationship with sensuality, connection, pleasure, safety, and the body. After loss, many people experience numbness, disconnection, hypervigilance, shame, exhaustion, or a sense that parts of themselves have gone offline. Sensuality is often misunderstood as purely sexual, when in reality it is our capacity to feel alive through the senses: touch, movement, breath, beauty, sound, connection, creativity, and presence.
This offering is appropriate for clinicians, helping professionals, yoga teachers, educators, caregivers, and anyone navigating grief or supporting others through loss. -

forms to create something both beautiful and restorative.
