In these heartbreaking times, grieving together is essential. The individualism and isolation our of culture creates numbness, apathy, and overwhelm. When we come together to grieve, we clarify our vision and purpose in this time of great change.
We remember how to come home to self and the lost notion of community. We invite you to join us for three days and nights of tending the sacred waters of our e-motions, through ritual, movement, and song. We gather at Earthdance, a beloved place to many and has become home to a lineage of ever-evolving grief work.
Coming together to move, sing, and feel has great power to connect us more deeply to our wholeness and purpose, opening the door to the unique and necessary ways our Soul can contribute to healing on this planet.
If we think of grief as an expression of our love, we remember that grief is one powerful facet of the human experience, inextricably woven with growth, play, pleasure and joy. Rage might arise too. If grief is an expression of love, then rage is an expressed need for a boundary.
So let us come together and stoke the sacred fire of our longing, belonging, grief, rage, repressed resentment, hope, fear, and so much more.

Fundraising for Immigrant Justice
We are firm believers that grief work is powerful work that ripples into our personal lives and beyond. We believe that each individual’s healing ripples into the wider web and creates a field of more attunement to those around us in both immediate community and on a global sphere. AND we want to take tangible action as well. In partnership with Earthdance we are donating a portion of the proceeds to LUCE, an organization that is defining and building immigrant justice in Massachusetts.
