Honoring the Threshold: a Grief Ritual

To the Doulas, the Hospice and Palliative Care Workers, the Lightworkers, the Funeral Directors, the Social Workers, the Counselors and Chaplains, Therapists, the Advocates, the Witches, Tenders, Healers – all the beings who live and work their magic in the liminal spaces, crossroads and thresholds – this ritual was designed specifically with you in mind.

Dear One, you walk with others through the sacred threshold of life and death, carrying both the honor and the weight of this soul calling. This path is one of deep connection, total presence, awe and reverence. It asks you to hold the duality of love and loss, grief and joy, and bear witness to the beauty of impermanence. This work can leave us both fulfilled and quietly weary. As we tend to others, we often forget to tend to ourselves. And, especially with this calling, it is even more important to engage in intentional care. Rather than continue the isolating narrative of “self-care,” let us come together, in connection and community, to honor the journey we are on together.

You are warmly invited to join a sacred grief ritual to honor this threshold:
DATE: Sunday 11/17/24

Please bring: a candle to light, an item that represents your work and/or grief, a small bowl of water and something for journaling.

Through ritual, we will:

• Hold space for the grief accumulated through this work
• Celebrate the joy, love and privilege of walking alongside of the dying and their loved ones
• Acknowledge the emotional and physical toll this work asks of us
• Reflect on ways this sacred work transforms us
• Honor the lives you’ve held and the journeys you’ve witnessed
• Reconnect with the purpose that sustains us in this work

This circle is a sacred space to share, to reflect and to remember that we are not alone in this work. In the presence of those who understand, we will gather to share, mourn, laugh and to remember why we do what we do. Pre-registration required. Click Here to Register
