The Forge: A Monthly Sacred Circle for Grieving the Sorrows of the World

*Both In-Person & Virtual*

The world is burning, aching, unraveling—and so are we. 

The Forge is a space to gather, bear witness, and transform our grief and fear into something potent, something true. Inspired by Francis Weller’s third gate of grief—the Sorrows of the World—this monthly gathering offers a container to process the weight of what we carry, together.

In The Forge, we speak what feels unspeakable. We name our sorrow, rage, and exhaustion. We make space for the truth of our hearts & our realities, without getting stuck there... 

Through ritual, we offer our grief to the fire, transmuting despair into something that can sustain us. 

With movement, song, and breath, we return to our bodies and to each other, remembering that we are not alone.

The Forge is a space of deep witnessing, alchemical release, and for tending to the soul in a time that seeks to extinguish our flames. Together, we forge resilience in the fire of our grief. 

We will gather every second Sunday of the month to create a rhythm of communal release & healing.

We will gather in-person at the Fire in the Belly Alchemy CAVE in Seattle (1812 E Madison St, Suite 204)--limited spaces available.

*AND* virtually on Zoom. 

This is a Donation-Based event.

Suggested donation of $5-$35, with no one turned away for lack of funds.
