How can we honor the grief and gratitude tied to the places we leave? In this solo episode of Design Deep Dive, I discuss my own experience with grieving a home in Seattle before embarking on a nomadic journey. I offer a guided practice to support you in moving through your own feelings of grief towards place, while cultivating gratitude for the home(s) you have loved. A journal or notebook is recommended (but not required) to move through the practice.

Explore the emotional journey of leaving a home and the importance of grieving place. Learn actionable practices to honor your relationship with spaces.

In this episode:

• The emotional significance of spaces as extensions of self
• My personal journey and process of grieving home
• Practical exercises for gratitude and grief related to place
