You are warmly invited to join us for a day of grief tending in community in the spirit of All Souls' Day and the Samhain tradition of honouring those who have gone before us.
There will be a particular emphasis on ancestral grief, remembering our dead and tuning in to our connection and response-ability to those not yet born. We will also be tending the other types of grief and loss that affect us on our human journey:
* current grief for bereavement, health issues and life changes
* long-term grief, passed down through families and culture
* grief for our earth, for the destruction of what we love, and for future generations
* pain for the world
* grief that feels stuck or frozen.
You may also simply want to deepen your relationship with grief as a force for personal and cultural transformation and healing, and to experience yourself as part of a community of lament. All of this and more is welcome.
