We all carry grief. From the destruction of our environment, to the horrors happening around the globe, to the losses we experience in our lives.

While our fast-paced, disconnected culture teaches us to numb, deny, or ignore our grief, it lives buried in us, weighing on our hearts and souls.

Tending to this grief reveals our bond with the world and each other. It builds our capacity for gratitude, compassion, and love, and helps us make sense of a world turned upside down.

It is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves, for each other, and for what comes next.

Join a "sudden village" of fellow soul activists as we explore Francis Weller's Five Gates of Grief. Through reflection, discussion, ritual, and community, we find the grace hidden in sorrow and remember what is sacred.
