To lament is to express sorrow, mourning or regret often aloud or in a demonstrative way. To protest is to express disapproval or object strongly, often to a specific idea or course of action. In a world of toxic positivity and grief illiteracy we often don’t have anywhere to mourn collectively and bear witness to each other.Using a variety of expressive art mediums, poetry and journalling prompts, join Jessica for an evening of communal lament and protest. Whether it’s a personal loss, post-election heaviness, pain we witness in our own community or the ongoing tragedies around the world, our grief wants to be acknowledged and expressed.We’ll spend time individually engaging in whatever mediums feel best and then coming together to debrief.
Real self-care involves being honest about where we’re experiencing grief and being proactive about caring for our despair/hopelessness/overwhelm/anger/fear/etc. If you need a night to sit with the grief and feel less alone with whatever you’re carrying, this is for you.
