The Day Of The Dead - Grief Circle

We’ll begin with a shared potluck meal to create warmth, connection, and grounding as participants arrive. The community is invited to bring photographs and personal items honoring their ancestors or anything they would like to lay to rest. We will share about the items and the historical practice of creating an oferenda. We will have a small community art installation where people can add the names of their lost loved ones, what they are ready to release or blessings for the next year. In addition, we will set up an offering dish to channel love into the world.
​
The heart of the evening will be a Family Constellation ritual, a group healing process that allows participants to honor and transform painful patterns within their family systems and the larger collective. There will also be a somatic practice to ground the body. Finally, we’ll close the circle, sharing reflections on family, ancestors, grief, and gratitude, before ending the evening with snacks and well wishes.

There are 7 major types of grief, loss of a loved one through death, loss of a relationship (such as divorce), loss of your home (or homeland), loss of a job, loss of a pet, loss of a body part (or health) and loss of a child. Any and all types of grief are welcome.
