Community Grief Ritual and Workshops: Guided Grief Nature Meditation
10/17/2024 at 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Art and ceremony can serve as a medium to allow us to encounter potent topics giving rise to an emergence of collective strength and transformation. When we take pause, deeply honor our feelings and tears, new insights and possibilities can ignite. Healing can occur.
Starting October 17th there will be 3 opportunities to connect:
Thursday October 17th, 2-3 PM at Redwood Roots Farm for a GUIDED GRIEF NATURE MEDITATION
A guided nature based meditation aimed at connecting more deeply to the land. Location is outdoors near trees and a creek. Hanna will lead participants into a heart-centered practice informed by her Eco-chaplaincy training. No experience necessary. Donation Based. No one turned away for lack of funds. Hanna Nielsen is an Eco-Chaplain with the Sati Center for Buddhist Studies, a Good Grief Network flow facilitator and a graduate student earning her master’s in Eco-psychology at Naropa University.
Friday October 18th, 4-5:30 PM at HUUF for GRIEF SONG CIRCLE

Community Grief Ritual and Workshops: Grief Song Circle

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, the circle is focused on learning songs from a variety of traditions by call-and-response, and singing 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. The music we make as we support each other through song calls forth the singing voice that is every humans birthright.
Maggie Mcknight has sung and played in various choirs and musical groups over the years, and since 2013 has been leading community song circles and helping people reconnect with the joy of singing. She was the musical director to the Arcata Threshold Choir for 8 years and is a firm believer that
singing is everybody birthright.
The next and final Community Grief and Ritual Workshop will be Saturday October 19th at HUUF

Arrive at 2pm and you will be welcomed inside for a short somatic grounding and water ritual. We will then begin with orienting our intentions and to Francis Weller’s five gates of grief. We will share in a writing practice to express and honor the grief that we carry and offer these expressions at the five altars to the gates of grief. There will be opportunity to silently witness and thank each other for the collective sharing. After a short break, we will reconnect at 3:30 for an eco-psychological grief practice as we build a beautiful flower mandala together. If you would like to share an honoring image of your departed loved one as part of the mandala cyanotype, please contact us ahead of time for how to do so. The space holders for this event are Vida Hofweber (Somatic therapist), Amy Day (Spiritual Director at HUUF), and Alissa Pattison (Ecopsychologist-in-training and Flower Farmer/Land Steward).
