The Grief Community Gathering Program will offer monthly explorations of a variety of openings to grief. We grieve through the sufferings of the world, social injustices, climate change, loss of our life expectations. We grieve collectively and grieve the same losses that our ancestors have grieved for generations. And, of course, we grieve our personal losses through death of loved ones, loss of a home/job, family pet, or loss of health. We will connect the paradoxes of Joy and Grief and explore the ways we grieve, through teachings on each topic. Sharing and expressing our feelings through, story, music, poetry, movement, tears and laughter.
