Communal Grief Project
Does ancient wisdom hold the medicine for healing our collective grief?
grief & loss come in many forms…
Death, loss of human rights, impacts of climate disasters, loss of independence with age or illness, hopelessness against violence
…the list goes on and on
we believe healing happens when we come together
We are bringing together Elders, Healers, and Teachers around the world to explore ways to heal grief.
ancient wisdom & collective action
We blend traditional knowledge with the magic of our communities to develop innovative rituals for healing grief…together
