Living Grief - Crossroads of Beauty & Sorrow

a multi-sensory autumn garden retreat of connection & curiosity

herbal wisdom - grief crafting - community ritual

@Wild Roots Apothecary & Gardens Sperryville, VA

Saturday, October 10, 10:00am - 2:30pm

Join the circle of fellow grief navigators for a thoughtful yet playful exploration of the many facets of grief in our lives. 

Experience how the healing magic of the Love, Wild Gardens will serve as a caring sanctuary for our gentle and creative grief tending in community with humans and the other-than-humans.

Come as you are. There is a brave space for it all – from the many small and everyday sorrows to the bigger and overwhelming grief experiences. 

Our time together is framed by several activities meant to creatively connect with the living grief inside and around us:

Herbal Wisdom: Meet and learn about plant allies that are available and reaching out to support our journey with grief. We will discuss and experience herbal teas, tinctures, oils, and other ways to engage with the healing wisdom of herbs to navigate the beauty and sorrow in our lives.

Grief Crafting: Playfully engage with creative activities like drawing with plants, introspective journaling, and nature weaving. There will be some alone time for crafting merged with group sharing. No special skills or experience required - there is no right or wrong way of doing this all and you’ll receive guidance for the process.

Community Ritual: Sharing a sacred experience of simple and meaningful embodied gestures as a gentle way to express, honor, and witness each other’s grief with intention and kindness. The community ritual is an invitation - active participation is optional, but please be present to respectfully hold space. 

Please bring: your own lunch, water, journal and pen, wear temperature appropriate and comfy clothing.

Rain Date: October 17

 

Please note: This offering is not intended to provide counsel, coaching, or therapy. Much rather we are meeting on common ground to hold non-judgmental space for one another with open minds and hearts.

There will be time to explore the Wild Roots Apothecary after our retreat.
