Journeying through the First Gate:
All that We Love we will Lose
With Maggie McKnight & Amy Day
Friday, February 13, 7-9 pm inside the HUUF sanctuary.
Description:
This two-hour workshop and gathering offers a gentle, communal space for those moving through personal or collective grief. Drawing on Francis Weller’s Gates of Grief— we will gather at the first gate where we are invited to remember: “All That We Love We Will Lose”. Through song, guided reflection, silence, and simple somatic practices, we will create room to feel what needs to be felt, to metabolize sorrow with care, and to remember that grief holds the keys to tenderness, connection, and love. Though grief work can feel overwhelming, it is, in fact, essential. In an intact society, we would gather regularly to do this sacred work together; this offering is one small, faithful step toward that more intact world.
$10-$20 suggested donation. No One Turned Away For Lack of Funds (NOTAFLOF)
Your Facilitators in this Work:
Maggie approaches grief through the medicine of the human voice and the ancient practice of singing together. Raised on classical music and folk songs, she later found her home in community singing, where music is learned by ear and woven collectively in the moment. Maggie holds a deep trust that everyone can sing, and that shared song opens hearts, loosens grief, and creates a container strong enough to hold both sorrow and hope. After many years directing the Arcata Threshold Choir and Humboldt SINGS, she now serves as Community Song Leader at HUUF, offering music as a pathway into breath, feeling, and the shared healing work of being human together.
Amy brings to this work a lifelong devotion to the spiritual life and a deep commitment to expansive, justice-rooted community. The granddaughter of Baptist missionaries, she grew up immersed in faith while longing for expressions of spirituality wide enough to hold complexity, grief, and collective healing. Since coming to the Fellowship in 2019 through Religious Exploration, Amy’s call to serve has continued to deepen. With a background as a theater artist, a yoga teacher of over 15 years, and a clinical herbalist, she is especially drawn to practices that help us meet grief through the body—with tenderness, presence, and compassion—so that healing and regeneration can unfold together.

Community Song Circles
Usually first and third Fridays at 4 pm at HUUF, with occasional schedule changes. To stay up-to-date about changes and get on the song circle-specific email list, email office@huuf.org.
“Group singing is a powerful catalyst for social change and community building. We sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment.” Maggie McKnight
Community song circles welcome all voices, bringing together people who love to sing, regardless of experience level. Song circles don’t focus on performing for an audience; instead, learn songs from a variety of traditions by call-and-response, and sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment. Group singing is a powerful way of connecting with each other, and with something deep within ourselves—and the music we make as we support each other through song call forth the singing voice that is every human’s birthright.
