Now is the time we gather.About this EventResting With the CracksA Community Grief Ritual Weekend in Taos, New MexicoThere are moments in life when something breaks open.A loss. A change. A fracture in the foundation of our world.We are often taught that these cracks are something to fix, avoid, or close as quickly as possible. Yet in the living world, cracks are how life continues. A young seed splits open to push to the surface. The earth's tectonic plates shift creating a gorge where water begins to flow. The shell must break for the chick to emerge. Life itself moves through rupture.What if the cracks in our hearts and lives are not signs of failure, but openings into a deeper intimacy with being alive?Resting With the Cracks is a community ritual weekend devoted to grief as a gateway into soul, essence, and aliveness. Rather than pushing grief away or trying to resolve it, we gather to gently rest within it—allowing the places that have broken open in us to reveal their hidden intelligence.At the heart of our time together is a Dagara style community grief ritual, a shared space where what has been carried privately can be held collectively. Through simple but powerful ritual forms, participants are invited to give voice and body to their grief, while being witnessed within a compassionate field of love.The weekend is designed with spaciousness and care so that people can soften, settle, and open even in the midst of groundlessness. When we stop bracing against the pain of loss, something unexpected can begin to emerge: a deeper current of life moving through us.Throughout the weekend we will explore grief through several supportive doorways:Meditative practice that invites presence with what is hereMovement and embodiment practices that allow grief to move through the bodyDeep rest as a radical act of allowing and integrationConnection with the land and elements of the high desert around TaosGrief education and reflection to help reframe our relationship with lossAt a time we are inundated with the devastation of our country, world, and the earth it's so important that we remember we are not alone. That we come home to ourselves and move through it all together. Now is the time we gather. Together we will gently question the conditioning that tells us cracks and grief are something to fear. Instead, we explore how the breaking-open moments of our lives may be invitations—life asking us, again and again, to open further. This is not about fixing grief or reaching closure.It is about discovering that even within sorrow, joyful life continues to stream through the opening.In a culture that rarely makes space for grief, coming together in ritual allows something essential to be restored: our capacity to feel, to be witnessed, and to belong to the great cycles of life.You are welcome whether your grief is recent or long-held, personal or collective. All that is required is a willingness to arrive as you are.Come home rest in the cracks.Come listen for the life moving through them. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/el-prado/resting-with-the-cracks-community-grief-ritual/100001984596866652 - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: El Prado - **state**: NM - **country**: United States - **location**: TaoSatva - **lat**: 36.4575681 - **long**: -105.6110868 - **full address**: TaoSatva, 2 Upper Colonias Road, El Prado, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Resting with the Cracks: Community Grief Ritual - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/8be96dc730c1cd26eb1323cd629139b3b3ff682e281dd1ed4964a5d95ee39dcd-rimg-w1200-h600-dc8d7445-gmir.jpg?v=1772964966 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Resting with the Cracks: Community Grief Ritual being held? - **A:** Resting with the Cracks: Community Grief Ritual takes place on Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm at TaoSatva, 2 Upper Colonias Road, El Prado, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Resting with the Cracks: Community Grief Ritual? - **A:** Resting with the Cracks: Community Grief Ritual is organized by Dana Elaine Schlick & Mikyö Black- Wangmo. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
