SUMMARY:Good Grief
DESCRIPTION:Good Grief is a group exploration of our collective grief th
 rough the frameworks of Francis Weller’s Five Gates of Grief (The Wild
  Edge of Sorrow). Inspired by our EcoGathering on Grieving during the au
 tumnal Composting series in 2024 and an increasing urgency to process th
 e compounding loss we experience as the continuation of modernity relies
  on genocide\, ecocide\, omnicide and fascism’s impingement on our bas
 ic rights and liberties\, we will hold space to tend to the complex and 
 often unaddressed grief that accompanies these losses and expand our emo
 tional capacity for collective grieving as a skill for navigating uncert
 ain futures.\n\nIn this fifth session we will focus on The Fifth Gate of
  Grief and the last entryway into the Weller's Communal Hall of Sorrows\
 , Ancestral Grief. Walking through this gate asks us to address the gene
 rations of untended grief and compounded losses of our ancestors\, passe
 d on to us to heal and hold. In this Sharing Session all participants ar
 e welcome to release the grief that arises at this gate to be witnessed 
 and held in the collective well of sorrow. It's highly recommended that 
 you attend the companion Integration Session offered the following week\
 , for the sake of group continuity and comfortability\, as well as the o
 pportunity to fully sit with the experience of witnessing and processing
  the grief at this gate.\n\n \n\nRecommended Resources\n\nThe Wild Edge
  of Sorrow by Francis Weller\, Chapter 3\nFor the fifth and final sessio
 n of this series\, it’s highly recommended that you read the section o
 f this chapter subtitled “The Fifth Gate: Ancestral Grief” (pages 63
 -69)\n\nThe Five Gates of Grief\nA brief summary of each of the five gat
