About this event:
In a world where ecological disruptions, economic instability, political unrest, and personal challenges converge, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious. The collective of these uncertain times can weigh heavily on our hearts and minds, leaving us searching for beacons in the storm. How do we maintain our sense of balance and well-being when it all feels too much to bear?
Join us for a transformative class titled “3 Practices to Navigate Global Sorrows and Grief with Grace.” This session offers you a space to acknowledge and sit with the sorrows of the world, without letting them consume you. Our journey together will empower you with practical steps to embrace and navigate these challenges with resilience and grace.
Through this masterclass, you will explore methods to stay grounded, find peace amidst chaos, and build a personal toolkit that helps you transform grief into a source of strength and empathy. Come learn how to walk through these times with a renewed sense of purpose and inner harmony. Let us hold space for collective healing and resilience, one practice at a time.
We, Wendy Kaas, Amber VanCleave and Beth, have been tuning into the land and other world and the message was subtle and clear-the grief ritual must wait AND it may be morphing into an entirely different form.
Please stay tuned as we continue to get clear as to what this ritual may look like. It may be more like a grief summit with sections about grief, protest, and rage and may be combined with art and creativity. So stay tuned, stay close and keep checking back for more information. Thanks thanks. And we apologize for any inconvenience.
The Dagara Grief Ritual was taught to both Wendy, Beth and Amber 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
