Renewal & Community For Grieving Hearts

I have begun a five month intensive training with Francis Weller, author of "The Wild Edge of Sorrow" on leading Grief Rituals and am beginning to offer Rituals in Community. As I am at the very edge of this work I am learning to incorporate my skills in Circle Singing to create sacred space for witnessing our griefs and the myriad ways in which grief presents in our lives.

​

Francis teaches the concepts of the Five Gates of Grief:

​

• 1 All that we love we will lose 

• 2 The places that did not receive love

• 3 The sorrows of the world 

• 4 What we expected but did not receive 

• 5 Ancestral grief 

      6 Trauma (an optional addition)​

​

The Grief Rituals I am currently leading and developing include:

​

• Calm/Restorative Practices

• Validation of Your Experience

• Exploring Continuing Bonds

• Community That ‘Gets It’

• Rituals For Honoring Our Grief

• Tools for Moving Forward as Life Unfolds

• Resources (Books, etc)

​

​

Please look for updates as well as reach out if you should want to organize a ritual for your group or organization.

IMPORTANT!

Keep in mind that I am a Peer to Peer Grief Educator and if you are suffering from thoughts of self harm or unable to function in your day to day life without relief, seeking a qualified Therapist who focuses on Grief may be what you need in order to help you get to a more functional position. I will do my best to help steer you in the direction of finding that support if that is what you are in need of.
