    Grief; Honoring Our Pain and Reclaiming Lifeforce

    Grief; Honoring Our Pain and Reclaiming Lifeforce
    Cranaleith Spiritual Center 13475 Proctor Road, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    All of us have experienced loss of some kind, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a significant relationship, losing a job, health challenges, or a dream deferred. And yet, as Bert Hellinger, the founder of Family Constellations noted about grief; “If you give it time, the hole becomes a space.” In this interactive Family Constellations workshop, we’ll explore: how can we honor and acknowledge our loss without it preventing us from moving forward in generative ways? How we might bear the grief of the present and the past, without sacrificing our future? What gentle adjustments […]

    The Grief Space

    A one day workshop providing the opportunity to have your loss seen, heard and honoured. A small group where you be safely and gently supported to begin to process your grief. A combination of simple ritual, working in pairs and letter writing along with somatic work. We will explore concepts of grief and grieving and what is costs us when we don’t know how to actively grieve, something we’re expected to know intuitively but have becoming disconnected from. The intention is that you leave carrying your grief more lightly.

    Dyeing before Dying: A Return To Indigenous Wisdom on Death

    Dyeing before Dying: A Return To Indigenous Wisdom on Death

    In summer 2025, I was in Benin and went to my paternal grandmother’s grave, visiting it for the first time since she died some years ago. Her grave is not just a stone in the ground of a cemetery, but a room within her family’s house, a place where life continues to unfold with death resting beneath us. With my brother, my aunt and my grand mothers’s siblings, we settled in the room, removed the dust, sat, chatted and performed rituals and prayers for her soul to continue resting in peace and wisdom. There, in the presence of her spirit, […]

    Teeth Become Weapons: Trans Grief and Rage

    Zoom Cornelius, NC

    Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities. Our bodies, lives, and very beings are increasingly politicized. Our stories and histories are flattened, made palatable for the sake of survival. Our unique grief becomes increasingly buried and unheard, unshared. What makes it unique? What do we grieve? How does that grief affect us? What prevents us from […]

    Support for our Grieving Community – Guided Discussion & Educational Workshop

    South Park Yoga & Wellness 2985 Beech St., San Diego, CA, United States

    Grief isn’t only something we experience after a death. We grieve relationships, careers, dreams, and a changing sense of safety, and many of us are also grieving the state of the world itself. These everyday griefs are often unspoken, yet they shape how we navigate life and care for one another. Many of us are wondering how to stay engaged with what’s happening in the world while also caring for our own mental and emotional well-being. This 90-minute interactive, donation-based grief workshop explores grief as a life skill - one that helps us adapt to unwanted change, understand what we […]
