Community Grief Ritual in Nehalem, Oregon

Nov 06 - Nov 08, 2015
Nehalem, Oregon 97131

Grief is Medicine! When it is liquid, able to move, to cleanse us, becoming good compost to metabolize the sorrow, anger, self-consciousness, envy, numbness and every other kind of negativity that can block our capacity to authentically give and receive the gifts of Life. Grieving well can make us stronger, more joyful and more resilient. But, very often, we cannot do it alone, to reach those stuck places, we must do it together. This is natural.
For the Dagara people of Burkina Faso, West Africa, and most traditional peoples, community grief rituals are a regular part of life, incredibly necessary for health and intimacy, both personal and collective.
Join Sobonfu Somé for a powerful Ritual and renewal. Together, we will create a safe and powerful container to release and metabolize many forms of grief while supporting each other, so as to cultivate fresh ground for us and our children
