LIGHT Movement is a grief-focused, somatic-based organization supporting individuals and communities through integrative healing. We bridge the science of the nervous system with accessible practices that help people move through grief and grow with it. Through education, embodiment, and community-building, LIGHT addresses the physiological, psychological, and soul/spirit impact of loss.
LIGHT’s signature programming includes workshops, classes, trainings, and retreats for grieving individuals and families, as well as educating wellness professionals who support this population.
Our Core Values
- Belonging – Fostering inclusive, trauma-informed spaces for all types of grief.
- Somatic Wisdom – Honoring the body’s innate intelligence in the healing process.
- Growth – Encouraging transformation through compassionate, embodied practices.
Our Goals
- Remind people they are not alone.
- Teach the science of grief and somatic-based tools to support the mind-body integration, leading to meaning-making and purpose in grief.
- Provide additional support and resources to help people in their grief.
- Stand in solidarity with all people and all types of grief and loss.
The LIGHT Story
LIGHT Movement was founded in 2024 by Amy Pickett-Williams LCSW, RYT. The idea was born from her 25+ years of experience as a grief therapist, along with her own personal grief stories. LIGHT started as one event: A Night to Illuminate Grief in 2023, and has since grown into a compassionate, volunteer-run non-profit.
Mission
To bring grief support and education to all
people through somatic-based, accessible,
evidence-informed practices.
To create a world of peaceful communities
where no one grieves alone.
Background Statement
LIGHT Movement exists to remind those experiencing grief that they are not alone.
Grief encompasses:
•The death of a loved one, human or pet
•The experience of infertility or miscarriage
•The loss of a relationship, separation, or divorce
•The loss of employment or housing or financial status change
•The loss of our health or independence
•The loss of our feeling peace due to trauma, depression, or anxiety
•The loss of our sense of safety due to terrorism, war, and crime
•The loss of sense of self
No one is immune from grief. Our goal is to empower those in grief by providing resources and support, while moving through grief together with light and love.
