Online Grief & Gratitude Ritual - Mar 2025

• Location: Online | Zoom
• Sliding scale $15-$70

Description:

As we start to turn towards Spring, Northwest Grief Tending invites you to our Online Grief & Gratitude Ritual on March 17th, 2025. Some of you may be grappling with the collective overwhelm and grief of this time, while others may be carrying deep personal losses. This gathering provides a space for you to connect with community and bring whatever may be on your heart. 

During this 2-hour gathering, we will light a candle together and join in song, poetry, movement, and deep listening to honor our collective grief & gratitude. This flow will follow a ritual format, which includes opening and closing our circle with intention and weaving in beauty throughout our time together. By reaching for each other, we find the courage and support to face what needs tending, keep our hearts open, and return to what matters most.

Our gatherings honor all forms of grief including from losses, change and transitions, pain and wounding from our past, sorrows for our world (planetary, societal, racial, cultural), loss of village and belonging, ancestral grief, and anything else present. There is no grief too big or too small for our circles. 

Fees and registration:

To register, please proceed with your payment and complete the registration questions. 

Refund policy: Full refunds are available up to 30 days prior to the start date. 

Facilitator:

Siena Tenisci, MA, LMHC, is a therapist and founder of Northwest Grief Tending, a practice dedicated to the facilitation of grief rituals and community healing. As a descendant of Abruzzese and Celtic lineages, Siena has been working to revive ancestral keening traditions, where women once held central and respected roles in helping communities metabolize grief through vocal and communal rituals. With over ten years of experience, her approach to grief work has been shaped by many teachers, including Sobonfu and Malidoma Somé, Joanna Macy, Therese Charvet, Laurence Cole, Francis Weller, and Vince Horan. Siena’s work is also grounded in her MA in Counseling from Antioch University in Seattle, integrating Internal Family Systems, body-based methods, and anti-oppression frameworks to support clients on their healing paths.
