We will also have a moment to write. We will have time in small groups and in the larger group.
For the love of all beings, alive, dead and at the thresholds.
RITUAL
Please arrive with enough time to settle before the start and plan to stay until the end- in a place where you feel safe and held.
WHAT TO BRING
- what you use to clear, clean and make your space beautiful, clean and safe (incense, essential oil, smudge, herb sticks, flowers, altar, sacred objects, etc...)
- a candle and lighter
- a salad bowl half filled with water
- a few small stones who fit in your hands
- drinking water
- a notebook and a pen
AFTER CARE
It is recommended to be with the land after the circle if you can. Best not to rush into intense stimulation immediately after the circle!
A bath, a shower, massaging your feet, laying down on the soil, hugging a tree or a loved one. All the above and others can be grounding and soothing.
Water and soil are great allies to hold and release our Grief. They know about patient love.
Grief and Gratitude being twin sisters; they are never far from one an other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Circles are held by Azul Thome (founder of SOULand, Soul activist, author and initiator of the Grief Composting Circles) and Christina Jarc Stembal (Part of SOULand's Council from Slovenia, an apprentice to Soul and Grief and facilitator in Slovenia)

When your eyes are tired,
the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone,
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
