Grief & Gratitude Community Ceremony

Gather in community to transform the ache of grief into beauty — through shared song, movement and deep presence, on Nov. 15 and 16 in the Odd Fellows Hall.

Each one of us carries the weight of unseen grief. Our hearts and minds can carry heavy loads, marked by loss, illness, loneliness and memories only we know. We do our best to show up every day and shine our souls’ light despite personal and collective tragedies.

Ancient and wise cultures knew the necessity of feeling and healing in community. In the lineage tradition of Malidoma and Sobonfu Somé, Joanna Macy and others, supported by somatic experiencing, nature connection and the timeless technologies of drum and dance, we come together to lighten our load and fill our hearts, minds and spirits with gratitude once again.

Join Orcas Island community co-facilitators Hayley Shannon, Sea Thorpe, Ravel and more on Coast Salish lands.
