Embracing the Shadow: A Gathering For Letting Go

Join us for an enriching experience to help us navigate life's challenges, the many layers of our grief, and remembering our joy in the presence of a caring community. Together we'll embark on a special, in-person journey exploring the forms, layers, and shapes that grief takes.

We'll tend to our grief through ritual work, somatics, the medicine of nature, sounds, and a supportive sharing circle. With the support of our Shadow Potion, we're invited to soften and expand as we practice letting go.
