Grief Tending Ceremony

Grief Tending April 2021

By Request

Great Salt Lake, Utah

I offer individualized grief tending ceremony for individuals and groups to welcome and move Grief. This ritual is simple, body-based and is held by the nearby wild-nature of the Great Salt Lake. When you can move Grief through you, you are more able to see and receive its gifts.

POETRY INSPIRED BY GRIEF TENDING AT THE GREAT SALT LAKE

By Kathryn Sonntag from her Grief Tending experience in April of 2019..

By Amy Brunvand, inspired by Grief Tending at the Great Salt Lake in October of 2015.

Psychotherapist and author Francis Weller, MFT discusses the communal nature of grief, the expressive virtue of anger, false happiness, and the two hands of grief and gratitude. Interview recorded at the 2013 Minnesota Men's Conference.

Come join us at Celest Fest Eclipse in Belton, Texas on April 5-9, 2024 — a no-substance festival complete not only with Grief Tending, but with the total ecplise of the sun.

It will be life-changing.


Grief Tending is a simple ritual in the nearby wild natural world to safely grieve freely so that you can move the energy of Grief and begin to receive its gifs.. Please contact me with any questions you might have.

Thanks for facilitating the group last night and for leading us into what felt to me like another world. It was cold, but I wanted the drums and the grieving space we created to continue until the stars and the night sky came out. Till next time.
