"Grief is love with nowhere to go"
—Roshi Joan Halifax
These grief ceremonies and groups offer an opportunity for deeper connection and community—a place to gather and tend to grief with others navigating the throes of great loss. Reflecting on the ways of our ancestors in the villages of past times, our modern-day patterns of grief isolation are a pervasive problem. When we come together, we heal together. These ceremonies, varying from in-person to online, sometimes are death-specific, such as parent loss or traumatic loss, and some are open to all. Please browse below to explore and register for one of these circles. Most circles last 2-3 hours and include elements of altar building, meditation, storytelling, and journaling.
Upcoming Events
Grief Ceremony - (CURRENTLY FULL)
Sunday October 27th 4-7pm
Anna Ranch
$35-65 sliding scale
This ceremony space is a immersive community container at the beautiful anna ranch We will build altars, talk story and say their names and gather during this potent time of year to honor our ancestors with the samhain portal (celtic holiday) and day of the dead in Mexico. We will dive into some grief focused meditations, have a tea ceremony focusing on plants to support our grief, do some writing and end with a sound healing and some light movement.
This circle is open to anyone grieving a death related loss. Doesn't matter how long ago or what the relationship was.
“Grief ceremony of this depth is what’s missing from our culture and Tasha creates the space to normalize and process grief in a really helpful and nourishing container. She’s an excellent facilitator and talented practitioner.”
