? Song of the Ancestors: Autumn Grief Tending ?

Schedule

Sat Nov 09 2024 at 10:00 am to 06:00 pm

Location

1st Norwich Sea Scouts | Norwich, EN

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.
This date may particularly resonate with you if you:
* Are grieving the death of loved ones in your family;
* Want to honour family members who are no longer with you;
* Feel the weight of unexpressed grief passed down through your lineage;
* Find it difficult to grieve your ancestors due to complicated family history;
* Are grieving rupture, loss or endings in family relationships;
* Want to tend grief and pain in your heart to help you become a good ancestor to future generations.
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.
If you haven't experienced this approach before, you may find it helpful to attend our online introductory session on 30th October: see here https://fb.me/e/2tsjGGdit
The workshop will be facilitated by Liz Day and Shona Sundhari.
