Community Grief Ritual: 4-Day Traditional Ceremony for Honoring and Releasing Grief

Thu, Oct 31

|

Down-to-Earth Ecoshire | Sage, CA

Unexpressed grief, like all forms of energy, has to move. It searches for a way out of the box in which we've attempted to lock it. Grief needs to be seen and heard, given to dance and song. Here, we come together to share our grief and move it through. Grief is the continued conversation with love.

The Well of Grief

Those who will not slip beneath

the still surface of the well of grief

turning downward through its black water

to the place we cannot breathe

will never know the source from which we drink,

the secret water, cold and clear,

nor find in the darkness glimmering

the small round coins

thrown away by those

who wished for something else”

— David Whyte
