Community, Ecology, and Sorrow: Coming Together in our Grief
In this time of climate crisis, many of us are struggling with deep grief, which can sometimes be overwhelming. We need places where we can come together to express our feelings so that we don’t end up feeling isolated and hopeless. Together, we can honor the sacredness of our love and our grief for this, our world. We can learn to allow our feelings (sorrow, anxiety, anger, etc.) to flow out into sacred space, and lead us toward right action. To do this fully, we need community.
We have been offering seven-week Eco Grief Circles for a few years now. We will not be offering a circle this summer, but we wanted to offer something for anyone who is looking for support with grief around the climate crisis.
