Community Grief Tending

Community Grief Tending Group

This group is by cash donation (suggested contribution is $20-$40 per person) and will be held once a month
No registration needed. Just drop in.

As human beings we love, so we also grieve. The challenge is, our dominant culture has sent us all kinds of unhelpful messages about what grief “should” look like, feel like, sound like and how long it should “last.” Most of these messages are simply untrue and can have harmful consequences. Frances Weller notes that unmetabolized grief often shows up in our lives as anger and aggression. It can keep us from being connected and current in our relationships with ourselves and others.

This group is about normalizing grief as part of living and loving well. It is about slowly down and companioning our sorrows, instead of burying them. How can we become deep and wide enough to hold what is arriving at our door? It is a place to gather “ in Good Company” just as we are – to regularly tend the many threads of grief that we may feel as human beings at this current time.

This may be loss of a loved one, pet, a part of self we have abandoned, a relationship, environment/habitat, community, ancestors and many more.
