Re-Membering Grief, Reclaiming the Heart 2027
Slowing down to feel our grief, so that we can rise rooted in compassion.
This retreat is open to individuals navigating any form of grief, not just those who have lost loved ones. Our intention is to create a container to support all sources of loss and grief, from acute personal losses to Earth grief and ancestral loss.
Falling into the arms of love
This spring, we invite 20 participants to gather on sacred land in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York for a grief retreat and ritual, offered in the lineage of Malidoma Somé and Francis Weller.a
Join us for three days…
To witness and welcome nature’s awakening from winter slumber.
To align our bodies to the patience of geologic time.
To authentically and tenderly hold our grief and sorrow in the presence of our sudden village.
Family and Ancestral Grief
Where we should look forward to the emotional sanctuary and unconditional love of close family, some of us find ideological battlefields bereft of acceptance and belonging.
This helix of present-day divisiveness, entwined with the un-metabolized sorrows of past generations, reproduces an animal body either primed for battle or crushed into a numb pulp. Neither state is conducive to tender connection.
I invite you to a full-day grief retreat and ritual where we will unburden our hearts of the distress we carry for the schisms in our families and unresolved sorrows of our ancestors.
