The Sun Will Rise - Connecting Through Ritual, Learn the multicultural roots of different earth altar rituals, offered here as a practice in ritual for grief, remembrance or celebration! An earth altar is a temporary piece of art, mostly created from materials found in nature. The practice of building an earth altar incorporates intention, mindfulness, patterns and balance, beauty and nature- all of which can be helpful on a grief journey. This can be a lovely way to recognize something such as an anniversary or birthday, incorporate it into a memorial or remembrance ceremony, or pause to mark something on your own journey. We will open and close our space together with a collective ritual. You will have an opportunity to build your own beautiful temporary earth altar made of dried and fresh flowers, crystals and other natural elements. Supplies will be provided- AND it is most definitely welcome and encouraged to bring any items that resonate with you, that are maybe connected to your person(s) - photos, mementos, etc. No art or meditation experience needed. A community earth altar will also be available to participate in building for those who might not want to make their own. Workshop hosted by Jill Shanahan & Kristin Doneski of Wild Grief Offerings.
