Grief Ritual + Silent Supper

Our Intention:
This gathering is meant to create a communal space where grief and love can be witnessed together. By sharing presence and reflection, we allow what is often hidden to be honored in the open.

Psychiatrist Gabor Maté writes that trauma is not only what happens to us, but also what becomes stuck within us when grief is denied or unexpressed. 

Grief, when given space, transforms. It softens isolation and restores connection. This supper is not about resolving loss. It is about allowing ourselves to feel what needs to be felt, together, in a safe and intentional space.

What to Bring:

•  A vegetarian dish for the potluck
•  Your own blanket or chair for outdoor seating
•  Warm attire 
•  Journal & pen
• An item or photo to place on the community altar (optional)

Cost:
We want this gathering to be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial means. To help cover the cost of materials and the energy that goes into hosting, we invite contributions on a sliding scale of $15–25. Choose the level that feels right for you, as your presence is the most important contribution.
