August 10: Grief & Celebration Embodied
Growers and organizers know the deep frustration and upset that parallels our efforts for transformative change. We know the anger of witnessing and experiencing injustices over and over, but we don't always make the time for the diverse expressions of grief. Nor do we necessarily prioritize celebrations of our successes when we meet our goals.
Together with peers we will creatively deepen our understanding of how we experience grief and celebration (mostly personal reflection with optional share back). Then we will share practices and strategies for how to incorporate grief and celebration into our movements, and end with a gently guided practice to build familiarity with one strategy.
Being more confident in our relationships with grief and celebration can lighten our spirits, help us to balance the flows of emotions, and allow us to connect with each on a deeper level as we grow cultures of solidarity and care.
