What is a Grief Tending Circle?
We are living in a time of so much loss. Loss of the way life once was, loss of loved ones, loss of physical connection, chapters ending. And the layers of grief continue with the ending of relationships, health struggles, income disruptions, a devastating sense of loneliness or a longing to be alone, systemic racism and inequality, or the ongoing destruction of our natural world.
We are just “waking up” and feeling the immense weight of grief. We can be numb no more.
Yet what do we do with all this sorrow? Traditional cultures know the healing powers of allowing grief to flow. That tending to our grief regularly and in community allows for vitality and resiliency in ourselves, our communities, and the world. And when done so in the presence of others, we feel the sacred container holding us, making it safe for us to express our deepest pains. Join us as we develop a capacity to bear witness to the grief of others while befriending our own sorrows to make room for more joy and hope.

LOGISTICS
Andrea & Sage meet with you on Zoom each season for two hours of poetry, ritual, journal writing, sharing (in small groups), meditation, movement, and deep listening; all flowing with the waves of what feels right to you. This is not therapy or coaching. It is an ancient practice that allows for us to see and feel seen in what speaks deepest in our hearts.
If you are uncertain, email Andrea with questions about the next Community
Grief Tending Circle.
“I’m not sure how or when I began my apprenticeship with sorrow. I do know that it was my gateway back into the breathing and animate world. It was through the dark waters of grief that I came to touch my unlived life. . . . There is some strange intimacy between grief and aliveness, some sacred exchange between what seems unbearable and what is most exquisitely alive. Through this, I have come to have a lasting faith in grief.”
