Online Grief & Gratitude Ritual

Description:

As we move deeper into the fall season, Northwest Grief Tending invites you to our Online Grief & Gratitude Ritual. This time marks Samhain in the traditional Wheel of the Year, a moment for honoring transitions and the cycles of life. This gathering provides a space for you to connect with community and reflect on 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.

Facilitator:

Siena Tenisci (MA, LMHCA) is a therapist, community organizer, and founder of Northwest Grief Tending. She is a descendant of Abruzzese and Celtic peoples - lineages where keening women once held dedicated and respected roles in society as vocal rituals who midwifed collective grief within their communities. Siena has been facilitating grief rituals for over a decade and has been inspired by the work of many teachers and mentors, including Sobonfu & Malidoma Some, Joanna Macy, Therese Charvet, Laurence Cole, Francis Weller, and Vince Horan. She completed her Masters in Counseling at Antioch University in Seattle and is committed to a lifelong practice of dismantling systemic and internalized oppression.
