Queer Embodied Grief & Prayer Ritual
January 4th, 2025
Heart Rose Club, Brattleboro Vermont
Times are wild and we need more spaces for collective grief and collective prayer. Our bodies hold it all; our grief, our sorrow, our joy, our love, our pain, our fear, our anger, our courage, our compassion. When we make space for our grief, we make space for our joy. When we grieve in community, we remember our interconnected belonging and that in itself is powerful medicine - we amplify and uplift each others prayers, we push back against isolation, we situate ourselves in the collective fabric and remember that we were never meant to hold these things alone. This ritual space centers queerness and uplifts queer and trans lives; allies are welcome to join.

EarthSing
Somatic Song Gathering
August 16th-18th 2024
Join us for EarthSing, a co-creative gathering of song, ritual, and embodiment. Our workshops and shared practices include improvisational singing, somatic practices, folk songs, song circles, invocations, and musical embodiment. Singing together in this way can open the heart, the voice, and get the creative channels flowing!
Singing together is a ritual, and song has been part of collective ritual practice across time and place. In this gathering, we will explore the capacity of the voice to connect us more deeply to ourselves, each other, and the land.
