Grief Medicine: Tending to Grief in Community

Being in community, either in an ongoing group, or in ritual space, is a powerful way to feel less alone in grief, and learn from the wisdom of others. Sometimes we feel totally alone in our struggle only to find that so many others in the circle feel the same way, too. People in our lives often serve as mirrors, reflecting to us the myriad facets of ourselves. Together, we learn skills, guided meditations, movement, and expressive arts activities, using the power of the collective to heal more quickly than doing so alone.
