​AmarAtma Singh Khalsa

AmarAtma Singh Khalsa is a grief specialist, chaplain, and founder of The Institute for Compassionate Grieving, pioneering a new way to approach loss as a path to healing and transformation. With a unique blend of mind-body medicine, spiritual wisdom, and somatic healing, he helps individuals navigate the complexities of grief with depth, grace, and resilience.

With over 15 years of experience, AmarAtma has supported thousands—from patients and families in hospitals to healthcare professionals and grieving individuals—guiding them through loss with compassionate presence and integrative healing practices. His work challenges outdated grief models, offering a more expansive, heart-centered approach that acknowledges grief’s emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions.

A sought-after speaker and retreat leader, AmarAtma has presented at Harvard, Stanford, and Kripalu, bridging science, spirituality, and emotional wellness. His Compassionate Grieving Model provides a holistic framework that honors grief as a sacred, transformative process, rather than something to be fixed or overcome.

Through his writing, workshops, and social media presence—with a global community of over 155,000 followers—AmarAtma is shaping the conversation around grief, inviting people to embrace it as an opportunity for deeper love, meaning, and self-compassion. His work is a testament to the power of healing in community, through the body, and with profound reverence for life’s impermanence.
