Many of us are carrying grief in our bodies and our lives while holding onto harmful messaging that we must push through, get over it, move on. Grief is natural and sacred to the human experience. Let us meet this inevitable guest together, creating a welcome space to learn what it has to teach us, how to care for our grief and approach it from a place of reverence, and how it might be inviting us to deeper compassion for ourselves and each other. Through wisdom sharing, writing, embodiment practices, poetry and ritual, we will tend this ground of sorrows together, gathering in community as we were always meant to.
