Grief Circle.
Grief Circle
In this ceremony we gather around the grieving mothers, no matter how long it’s been, how far along they were, or where they are in their processing. We gather around them because their stories are medicine for us all that need to be heard. We shower them with our finest foods, a listening ear and comforting touch. We love on their bodies and open our hearts. Our culture has stigmatized and silenced what we all know to be the beautiful mysterious dance of life.
“We hold the sacred space and we listen. We don’t solve the problem. We don’t let any professional hat crown the head of anyone present. We are womentogether in this great mystery. We laugh and play and talk to baby. We make a circle and sing the power songs around her. We bless her. We feast. They are the Holy Mothers. They deserve our best.” - Sister Morning Star
We are brining loss into the light so that it may be healed through community. Back into the hands and hearts of those who are the tribe of her belonging.
This FREE, quarterly gathering is open to all women wishing to be supported by community in the processing of loss. The focus is on being witnessed in our healing together.

Ceremony Agreements:
No Hierarchy: In this space we are all equally divine and sovereign. We leave our titles and occupations at the door and show up
No Self Promotion: we understand that many women in attendance may provide services to birthing women. We appreciate you for walking this path but in order to preserve the sanctity of the space we ask that no advertising or soliciting take place at the event. Relationship building is encouraged and we hope to see many women building connections in this space that extend outside the container.
No Medical Talk: We honor all women’s choices and experiences of birth. This space is for dreaming, nurturing and expanding mamas. For that reason we ask that you leave medical pathology and traumatic birth stories at the door.
