For me, the landscape of being a person of mixed heritage is complex, especially when that is visible through my brown body within a white-body-supremacy landscape.  And each time I am in space with others of mixed heritage I feel such a deep relief in my body, especially if we are talking about it.

An emergent space for people of mixed and global-majority heritage to come together, speak our truth and embody our prayers.

All grief is welcome at all these workshops. Whether you are with personal loss or bereavement, healing from past wounds, disturbed by world or local events, or acknowledging the pain of those who went before still reverberating in your family or community, your grief is deserving of tending, and is welcome.  Residential grief tending workshops allow us to go deeper and transform more. In the spaciousness of having a series of processes, grief can be expressed and witnessed in different ways, working with the body, words, sound, images, song and more.
