Beth’s next free online masterclass is called: Transform Grief: 3 Keys to Cultivate Joy & Rekindle Purpose.
Join us for a free online masterclass on August 12th, 2025 at 5:30pm MST (4:30pm PST, 6:30pm CST, 7:30pm EST).
Are you stuck in grief? Are you overwhelmed with the amount of grief right now and are wishing you had ways to BE with it? Are you also wanting to find a place to be witnessed and share your grief in community? Are you grieving a complicated non-death loss and haven’t found a grief community yet?
Join us for Transform Grief: 3 Keys to Cultivate Joy & Rekindle Purpose.
We will gather for about an hour and a half to learn somatic tools to be with our grief so you can get your life energy back.
Part of our time will be a Grief Circle where you and your grief will be shared and witnessed.
Come be with other people who are also learning from deep grief right now. You don’t have to do this alone.
Beth Erlander, MA, LPC, knows grief intimately and will share her wisdom and guidance from her own story of personal loss.
All kinds of grief are welcome. Grief is more than death loss. Losses can included these:
- Relationships
- Home/sense of well-being
- A natural disaster
- An animal companion
- Job/career
- A dream
- Your identity
- Your physical abilities
- Sense of hope in the future
- Climate change issues
- Political and world situations

We must grieve together in ritual and ceremony. In the past Beth has co-led grief rituals in the Dagara style taught by Elder Malidoma Somé and Sobonfu Somé.
Beth will list grief rituals happening soon in Colorado as well as other grief rituals happening in the USA and beyond so that we can get our grief ritual needs met. Stay tuned to these beautiful offerings.
The Dagara Grief Ritual was taught to Beth by Elder Malidoma Somé and Sobonfu Somé who are both from the Dagara tribe in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Sobonfu led many grief rituals to Westerners after she learned that we didn’t know how to be with grief. For the Dagara, grief is simply part of being human.
Beth attended these rituals with both Elder Malidoma and Sobonfu and it was one of the things that helped her most to be with the amount of grief she was carrying.
She has since led these rituals with Wendy Kaas for many years.
Grief ritual is a sacred place and time to let your feral grief be fully expressed. We will set up a few altars to grief, the Ancestors and to forgiveness and water. Then we will teach you the grief song only used in this ritual. We will then have many rounds of grieving. And we’ll end by sharing a meal and some social time together.
Questions? Reach out to Beth, she’s so happy to share about this healing experience.
Thank you
