Join us on Saturday, July 25th from 10a-1p as we bring our grief to the lake!

Gather with death workers + fellow grievers in open conversation to remember our loves, reflect on our mortality and connect in community care + curiosity. Enjoy a grounding walk along the paths of the nearby bird sanctuary. Sit with waves + bird songs. Peruse our traveling library of resources. Write a postcard to support another human-in-grief. Normalize crying in public!

Blankets + beverages provided. Community Altar items encouraged!
