Rooted. Rising Through Grief, June 28-29

When: 
Jun 28 2025 - 4:00pm - Jul 30 2025 - 10:00am
(18) Fig (Brown Turkey)

This weekend offers a rare opportunity to tend to the neglected territories of loss that our culture so often asks us to override, ignore, or deny:

  • The grief of dreams unrealized

  • The sorrow of ecological devastation

  • The ache of disconnection from community

  • The mourning of identities shed or stolen

  • The ancestral grief carried in our bloodlines

  • The pain of relationships altered or ended

  • The losses that come with aging and change

  • The fear and confusion of trying to make this life “work”

  • The epidemic of depression and anxiety

  • The list does not end, it is not supposed to, grief is part of the human experience 

Through carefully guided ritual, time on the land, creative expression, shared meals, and the ancient medicine of being present together, we will practice the art of grief tending as an act of community resilience and cultural transformation.
