A Collaborative Gathering on Grief

Grief, like water, moves into the empty spaces.

It fills up our losses, our anger, our confusion.

If it has space, it can transform us, and remind us, perhaps, to praise what we do have, what we can do.

Join us for an opportunity to gather and acknowledge grief and it’s incredible weight, and alchemize together through a dance performance, live music, and the collective creation of a grief altar.

If called to be a part of the altar, consider bringing a piece of significance to you.

It could be a representation of loss, a sentimental token, a talisman that guides you through the tough times, etc.

We hope to create a space to alchemize the heaviness that floats above, around, and through us.

Perhaps it’s your own grief that brings you, or a gathering of the grievances of many that pulls you in.

However you show up, and with whatever capacity, this space is meant to provide safety, time, community, and alchemy for what we are all processing, individually and collectively.

May this gathering be of the utmost benefit to all beings!
