Grief and Hope during the time of Covid19

GRIEVE and RISE - Presencing Our Collective Grief is a social forum to bring up the collective grief that we are experiencing freely front and center, in an open, respectful, loving and kind setting, with the goals and intentions of the following:

•To turn towards our collective griefs and talk freely and as a community about 

• the collective griefs we are experiencing

• the personal griefs we are experiencing

• the weights of grief on our community and on us personally

• To be open to all views

• To respect and honor each person

• To allow voices to be heard

• To make connections with each other

• To acknowledge the troubles

and as equally

• To focus on the hopes and contributions towards healing as a community, holding each other and everyone else up

Currently the events will be focused on RACISM and GRIEF, for people who are identified as White.

Inviting you to join the next Collective Grief circle, focused on processing racism from the white perspective, contemplating, reframing and acting in support of an equitable life for ALL, starting with in support of black members of our society.

All Donations for these gatherings will in full be donated to #BlackLivesMatter.

JOIN NOW and look for announcements on the events coming up, currently to be held online.

Connect Here to Join the Collective Grieve and Rise. The next event is an invitation to the processing of Racism and Collective Grief, moving through them with Contemplation and Action. I leave it to my Black and African brothers, sisters and family to lead BIPOC sessions and bring this gathering as a space to hold for the White people who need to process, empathize and bring to action. 

Donate to Grieve and Rise next event or Donate to your own charity. All Optional Donations will in turn be donated to #BlackLivesMatter.
