Dancing With Grief

with Mariko Tamegai & Noah Souder-Russo
Monday, December 22nd
6-8pm


What is grief? How does the experience of grief move through our individual and collective bodies? How might we stay in relationship with grief - allowing for emotional alchemy and energetic metabolization - while not being consumed by the immensity of the experience?


Perhaps grief is like a wave we can dance to and ride with. Maybe it's also a cellular rave, a warehouse party with our ancestors and descendants present. The unpredictable frequency range of grief reverberates through our field. What happens when we dance with it together? What becomes possible when we allow all parts of our collective being to co-mingle in the muck?


Mariko and Noah invite you to honor y(Our) heartbreak through periods of movement, music, energy healing, guided meditation, stillness, and connection. There is no experience needed and no "right" way to enter into this ritual space. We welcome all parts of you to be present in whatever way feels most supportive. From the despair and hopelessness to the messy and entangled to the playful and joyous.


As many of us are currently navigating economic instability, we strive to make this offering as accessible as possible. Dancing With Grief is a sliding scale event.
