Join seven of your peers for an intimate Grief Ritual & mini-retreat at Caveside Wellness. Grief is with all of us and it’s often hard to move through alone. Our collective ancestors understood the importance of ritual and coming together during life’s hardest and most important transitions. We'll spend the day together remembering our beloved dead while facing, releasing, moving through, and integrating our grief around losing them.

Our methods will include group discussion, witnessing, somatic movement, breathwork, writing, song/chants, and prayer. Throughout the ritual, we’ll be working deeply with the element of water and taking advantage of it's innate abilities of holding and transporting. Part of our ritual will include a walk to the Clackamas River to physically release our grief-filled water vessels, asking our grief to be taken all the way out to the ocean. We’ll also work with local plants and herbs used in Scandinavian Folk Medicine to ease and alleviate the symptoms associated with grief and mourning.

Our official time will end at 1:30pm after we break bread together. There will be an optional FREE sauna to follow for anyone that would like to partake in a thorough cleansing before heading home.

What to Bring:

• A water bottle
• backjack or floor cushion
• Photos or mementos of your beloved dead (pets included)
• An offering for your beloved dead (favorite treat in real life, flowers, etc)
