Blessing What’s Broken
A six-week circle tending personal and collective grief
Loss is embedded in life, and grief is a natural and necessary expression of loss. Denying grief only compounds our pain.
And yet culturally, we don’t know how to grieve. We don’t give grief its time and space.
Tending grief in community can be deeply healing, liberating, and even joyful.
There is another way.
“What happens when we don’t honor our own personal sorrows, if we don’t register what’s moving in the terrains of our own hearts?
...the heart will shut down…there will be no one left to register the sorrows of the world.”
Grief as love
Many who have experienced deep grief see grief as love.
Grief shows us what matters to our hearts:
Relationships.
Small moments.
Natural beauty.
The ease and health in our bodies.
Our ideas about how life would go.
While it’s easy to feel heartbroken by our personal and collective losses, being brokenhearted isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
When adequately tended, a broken heart is an open heart.
An open heart is available for healing, connecting, and living.
What to Expect:
In weekly circles over six weeks, we’ll cultivate a safe, communal space for our grief. Together, we’ll witness and tend what we’re holding individually and as a collective.
We’ll have many tools and traditions available to us for sharing and processing, from nature and ritual to verbal storytelling, poetry, and song.
