Grief Vigil with Patti Shaffner

Vigils Are Devotional Times For Engaging With Our Sorrows, Worries And
Losses. They Tend The Hard Parts Of Our Personal And Collective Grief Through
The Soft Expression Of Intentional Space, Guiding Invocations, Imaginal
Activities And Tender Closings. This Is An Invitation To Pause And Attend To
Broken And Aching Hearts, Bear Witness To One Another and Generate A
Frequency Of Grace And Healing For Ourselves And The World.

We gather to tend the aches that have
left us weary, sorrowful and worried.
We will create time for:
Remembrance & Reflection: Intentional time to recall
the life and legacy of our loved ones who have died -
sharing memories and stories
(And if other sorrows of the world and our lives need
tending, we can bring those as well)
Emotional Expression: A supportive environment to
express all that we are feeling. Sadness, Anger,
Confusion, Guilt and More
Unity & Support: Coming together in community
ensures that no one bears the weight of loss alone
Symbolic Ritual: Lighting Candles, Sharing
Mementos, Writing Messages to our loved ones, etc
Meditations and Silence: Holding each other in
community in the sacred space of quiet.
Please bring
- a memento - if desired
- a memory of your loved one to share - again, if
desired
- a small stone or crystal that you will use to create an
altar of remembrance with later
- a journal and pen - if desired
Please dress comfortably with layers
Time Frame: 90 minutes to 2 hours
