Tending to Grief
“The well thought-out and heartfelt practices (in the Ceremony) made the process of acknowledgment and letting go, calm and easy. I felt warm and open the entire time, creating a safe place to explore issues of the heart. I even found some grief that I didn't know I was carrying. Essential work that humanity needs for the sake of transforming the tumultuous present into a more peaceful and co-existing future.”

We are living in a period of extended uncertainty and ambiguity, much of which is hard to pinpoint. Many of us have also been uprooted from our automatic patterns which has brought forward or illuminated our many instances of grief that we have experienced across the landscape of our life and which are nudging us for attention. During this time where we still live amongst a global pandemic, where we may be witnessing more deaths or dealing with the loss of ritual that rightfully honors and holds reverence for death.
These times are calling for all of us to show up in this present moment in the best and most whole way we are able. In order to do that, we must greet and dialogue with our grief so as to move forward more powerfully and as an embodied and resilient person.
