Grief Moves

An invitation to dance, breathe, and be with grief, together

with DJ Gemma and Life Rites

our invitation:
grief as

rite of passage
threshold
transformation
the condition of our times

our enquiry:
how do we move with and through it, together?

Come with Life Rites and DJ Gemma into the spaces, the slippages and the in-betweens, to share the load of grieving and to see what happens when we do. Grief Moves is an invitation to gather in a collective space. Whether you are actively grieving or simply willing to lend your body to the metabolising of it. This is not a workshop or a support group. This is a dance floor, a portal, a space to unfurl. You can bring personal, collective, communal, environmental, ancestral, disenfranchised and unnamed grief. All the grief. All are welcome here.

What to Expect

Grief Moves is an experiential gathering that works with the elements you bring. Expect music, movement, and space to be with whatever arises. DJ Gemma will hold us as we work collectively, so the room shapes what unfolds.

You might come with something specific, or simply with curiosity, to hold space for others. You may dance, move, or you may not. All are welcome.

Altar / Objects

You are warmly invited to bring an object, photograph, or written words that carry meaning. There will be a place to lay it. You can also write or draw something on the day.

This is a substance-free event

Take your meds but leave the substances at home. We work with what you bring through the door.
