Cape Ann Grief Ritual

Sobonfu Somé
May 14 & 15, 2016
Lanesville Community Center, 8 Vulcan Street, Gloucester MA 01930
This transformational, soul-restoring workshop, is designed to provide a supportive, safe space to release our individual and collective grief — grief about the losses we have endured in this and other lifetimes, including, but not limited to: the loss of loved ones, the loss of dreams, the loss of identity, and the loss of connection with our Ancestors, Mother Earth, and Spirit.
Ritual creates community and intimacy, inviting Spirit to nourish us during the healing process and help us achieve a lasting sense of peace. As a result, we regain connectedness with ourselves and with Spirit. In the Dagara tradition, Sobonfu offers participants a transcendental experience that is exceptional, original and impactful.
Past participants have said:
My mind had all kinds of reasons why I should not do it, yet my soul won this particular battle… I am grateful I found you… D. E.

I feel like a load has been lifted… L. F.
