Grief Ritual (pdx) with Laurence Cole & Shireen Amini

Life has inevitable sorrow, losses, and struggles, named and unnamed, for individuals and for communities.  In many traditional cultures throughout the world, communal settings support the full and wholesome expression of grief.  Unexpressed grief may become toxic, leading to illness, depression, addiction, even damaging and violent behavior towards oneself or others.  Let us support one another in presence and compassionate witnessing.  When we welcome the many faces and forms of grieving, we reweave our belonging.  The sacred ritual container allows our mutual flourishing and interdependence.

Community Grief Ceremony

In life it is necessary to grieve those things that no longer serve us in order to let them go. Grief is a common human emotion that impacts us all. It can come to us through divorce, illness, loss of dreams, conflict, death, change and so much more. Grief is an invitation to feel. It invites us to come into the body to shed light on those things that are ready to be released in order to heal. Because of this, we must have ways to move our pain. Grief needs to be regularly felt and released or it begins to smother our joy, creativity, and our ability to connect with our self and others.

Community Grief Ceremony is a safe way to learn how to lean into grieving within and among community. Communal grieving offers something that we cannot get when we grieve by ourselves. Through validation, acknowledgement and witnessing, communal grieving allows us to experience a level of healing that is deeply and profoundly freeing. Each of us has a basic human right to that genuine love, happiness and freedom.

Sing People Sing! A Community Song Circle in PDX

We invite you to this Queer and POC-led community singing gathering to experience the power of song as medicine, as a tool for liberation, and to simply fill your well of joy and connection. We believe singing is a birthright and welcome all levels of experience. Our incredible group of songleaders will teach songs on-the-spot, usually through call and echo, that are sourced from the community singing movement or have come through the songleaders themselves.

We will sing some songs in Spanish!
¡Vamos a cantar algunas canciones en español!
