Clan of the Brokenhearted | Community Grief Ritual

“Our grief does not need healing. Our healing needs our grief.” - Shauna Janz

Welcome dear fellow grievers! Thank you for your interest in joining us as we navigate the tender, vulnerable terrain of grief. This offering is a three-hour community grief ritual facilitated by Michele McKinnie (PSY.D., PC) and Alice Buckley. Together, we are tenders of grief with over thirty years of combined experience in psychotherapy and group facilitation. We are committed to offering spaces for our community to explore the grief we so often push down and away. By creating a container to be with our sorrow in the company of others, we are able to deepen our love, appreciation, and aliveness in the world. 

May this offering bring medicine to our tender hearts as we deepen our relationship with sorrow, healing, and renewal within ourselves and the wider world.

This form is intended to help us get to know you and your hopes for our time together so we can best support our individual and collective needs. If for any reason you need assistance filling out this application, we're available to make it accessible in whatever way we can; please email us at giftsofsorrow@gmail.com

Please tell us a few things about yourself, including your relationship with sorrow:  *
What is your hope or intention in coming to this grief ritual?  *
Have you experienced a recent trauma or significant loss and, if so, how are you coping at this time? *
Do you have any concerns or fears around joining us for this grief ritual? Is there anything that would help you feel more ready and calm about preparing for and during our time together?  *
We are intentionally creating a communal container for this ritual because we understand we cannot heal in isolation and all grief is collective. Are you willing to show up not only as a participant but in support of the community that gathers together? *
Who and what are your resources for being with grief and sorrow? How will you access those resources as you integrate the grief ritual once we're complete?
*
Do you have any accessibility needs in order to join us? If so, how can we accommodate them?
 *
Is there anything else you would like us to know? 
Thank you for your interest in joining us! 
It is a profound honor to share this tender terrain of grief with you. Thank you for sharing your responses and stories. We are holding your responses close to our hearts.
