Is there a right way to mourn? Gaza, Gaddafi and grief – with Hana El-Rais

Third Culture Therapy

Hana is a British-Libyan multifaceted creative, grief counsellor and end-of-life carer.

She runs monthly grief circles called Permission to Grieve and works with clients 1-to-1.

Using a holistic approach, including vibrational sound medicine, Hana strives to create a safe space for people to address & heal their loss.

Hana draws on her own personal healing journey and the many losses - her brother, her marriage, her identity, her country, to name a few - experienced in her life to help others.

As a space-holder, her niche is overcoming trauma and processing grief through understanding the mind, body, spirit connection.

Since the ongoing bombardment of Gaza began a few months ago, Hana has been holding grief circles for members of the Arab and Palestinian community in the UK but says there is no amount of training that can prepare for grieving and healing during a genocide.

Tune in to this episode of Culture Therapy to hear about:

• What the elusive Libyan society is really like
• How reading history resolved Hana's identity crisis
• What death and divorce taught her about loss
• The cycles of grief & healthy ways to process them
• How she weaves Sufi practise into her work and self-care

And much much more!
