On this evening we will come together as a community, through music, dance and ceremony -- we will open a sacred space to honour the sorrows that we carry, both personally and collectively, and in doing so - deepen our gratitude for life.
** This is relevant for ALL kinds of Grief and Sorrow - not only the grief that comes with death. There are many pains and shames and losses that we carry, from our personal lives and from the collective - that require unconditional acceptance, feeling and expression.
+ No prior experience necessary
+ Can be done in English or German
.
In the ever-growing field of self-development, spirituality and healing, there are many workshops and seminars focused on ‘ascent’: on positivity, expansion, self improvement, and higher states. What is often lacking in this marketplace are spaces of ‘descent’ - spaces in which to approach the darker elements of the human condition: the pain and shame and grief that all of us carry around. And there is a deep need for these neglected parts to be honoured, for our inner sorrows to find their voice and expression. There is a deep need for the shame and repression of our vulnerabilities to be lifted, and to be able to be together with and in our pain.
One of things I have learnt from Indigenous cultures - is the power and necessity of communal ritual for holding and processing sorrow. A special kind of magic occurs when we come together as a group to welcome and express our grief. Being held in our vulnerability by a caring community is an ancient and transformative human technology that has been forgotten by modern culture.
