This ritual creates a sacred space of healing following the traditional model of the Dagara grief ritual. It is an invitation to release the painful stories of loss our bellies hold. Grieving in community allows us to cleanse, purify and heal the wounds that block us from feeling fully whole. This ritual seeks to recover the joy of life that we are meant to experience.
Come home. It’s time to grieve.
The Grief Ritual is open to all.
