As Fall approaches and the veils grow thin, we invite you on a journey into the sacred water of personal and collective grief.

We will tend these waters by leaning into Francis Weller’s work on the gates of grief. Stepping through and abiding in each of the 5 gates, we will have the opportunity to unpack our places of longing and cultivate pathways of integration. Through this practice of tending to our grief, we begin to see openings into vistas of praise, joy, and unconditional love. We deepen our remembering of how grief is the thread that weaves us into the collective and holds us just as we are, with all we carry.

Here is an invitation to shift the emphasis from grief being hidden; “a solo act or private affair” to being witnessed and expressed in a “village”. During our 7 week journey, we will create and cultivate a grief village.

We will build this village with the clay of ritual, song, poetry, movement, journaling and group sharing.
