We welcome you to join us in creating space for grief… to be and move with what we are carrying individually and collectively and to find support in being held in the space of our collective container.
We are calling each other in, to be with the multitudes of harm and loss we are navigating individually, to hold and move them together, collectively.
This ritual is an invitation. There will be no expectations about how grief shows up or moves through you. You are welcome to arrive with all that you are and all that you carry and simply be present in whatever capacity you are able in the moment.
In the shared space of our time together, we will be holding intentional time to grieve. Many people have resistance to opening the door to grief because it can feel overwhelming and bottomless.
We will be doing this gently and with a time container. We will take time to arrive together, ground in the group, make space to talk about grief and be in silence and reflection, and then move into our ritualized grieving container. We will only dip into grief for a set amount of time and then offer support integrating and transitioning from that space. When we open the doors to grief, often many emotions may show up or even frozen stuckness. All of this is welcome.
Grief doesn’t have to look or feel a particular way. The important thing is that intentional time is created for grief and to just be with whatever arises.
We welcome you to arrive with whatever you are holding and move, sound, and express whatever emotions well up during our time together.
You are invited to bring any items to place on the altars. These items will return with you afterwards.
Please plan to arrive early. We will ‘close the doors’ after our initial introduction (perhaps 5-10 minutes in) to support the container.

- We see practices of grieving together as a communal resilience technology that supported our ancestors and has been impacted by colonization and white body supremacy.
- We see grieving together as a way to tend to ourselves and each other in the bigness, the "too-muchness" of our lives right now.
- We see grieving together as a way to be held and supported in accessing and moving grief, co-regulating our nervous systems and cohering our collective identity.
- We see grieving together as an ancestral connection practice; a way to support healing intergenerational trauma
- We see grieving together as part of re-culturing ourselves toward collective liberation.
- We see grieving together as tending our humanness.
- We invite you to come grieve together.
