Grief Grove - Deep listening to the songs of the heart - FULL - please register to the March Grief Grove

On-land gathering, Sundays 1-6pm, once a season (Nov, Feb, May, Aug), ongoing yearly.

May this be a place to come rest your sorrows seasonally, as this used to be part of humanity’s ways:  to grieve together and so to remember together, to rest together against the bosom of the earth and so to feel our heartbeats aligned with the greater pulsing heartbeat of life force.  

May this be a place of welcome and deep listening to the whispered love notes of our grief resonating in the chambers of our hearts.  A place to allow the breathing earth to work its magic.  

A place to gently dismantle the dams blocking the flow of our life-giving emotions, to allow our tears to nurture our bodies and the earth’s body, just as streams, rivers, oceans, rains, springs, and underground lakes circulate nourishing waters to parched land. A place where we offer our own parched lands the gift of our quiet stillness, our open awareness, our breath and our deep presence. 

Whether our grief resides on the surface, singing its prayers out-loud, or buried deep in silent prayers, we can gather together to be held by the land and its breathing ones, blanketed by the elements, nurtured by community.  We might hold the wish to feel renewed by the flow of our grief, just as rainfall leaves the world fresh and luminous.  

We might hold the wish that we, too, “come into the peace of wild things”.
