Grief can be many things. Besides the loss of a loved one, we can grieve the paths not taken, the sorrows of the world, the parts of ourselves that have not known love, the loss of our health, ancestral grief. Grief is not linear and shows up when and where we least expect it sometimes.
This will be a safe space to hold and tend our grief as a community. An intention to create a village to help us through challenging times. Come help create that village and let us tend our hearts and souls. Let us learn to walk with our grief, not fix it but instead, let it transform us.
Join us on Sunday, the Winter Solstice, at The Boocherie. You may bring an item representing your grief to place on a community altar for the gathering. Our grief tenders will offer some guidance to help you own your experience and honor yourself. All are welcome.
You may want to bring tissue, journal, floor cushion (but please no yoga mats), or blanket. Beverages from the Boocherie will be available for purchase before & after the circle.
Space is limited; Kindly register in advance here: https://forms.gle/bF7aWNb68FcV96Kk7
This is a donation based gathering ~ $loveoffering. And in order to respect the tenderness of the grieving process, no new entry will be permitted after 6:50 pm when the grief tending process will have started.
If you have questions, please reach out to our lead grief tender Matthew Blondell.
