Online Grief & Gratitude Ritual - October 2025

• Location: Online | Zoom

• Sliding scale $15-$70

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 weave a shared space of song, poetry, embodied movement, and deep listening. This is a time to honor both grief and gratitude — to make space for whatever needs witnessing. 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:

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.
