Program: 

This is a transformational and soul-invigorating ceremony that leads to the release of grief.  The suppression and denial of emotion in general, and grief in particular, has been linked to spiritual drought, emotional confusion and certain illnesses.  To regain a serious and lasting sense of connectedness with ourselves and with spirit, we need to find a proper place to feel and release our grief in a healthful way.  The Grief Ritual is such a place.

In the traditional world of the Dagara of Burkina Faso, West Africa, the Grief Ritual is conducted regularly in different parts of the tribe. It is the Dagara people’s way of releasing the tensions caused by loss, and to restore continuity in their relationships.  The Community Grief Ritual follows the traditional model of the Dagara.  It is our hope that it brings a deep sense of release, peace and joy to your life, and greater connectedness to family and community.
