Why a Grief Ritual?
We all experience pain and loss in life – conflict, illness, disappointed dreams, broken relationships, loved ones who die or suffer, even inherited or ancestral pain…It is important to have healthful ways to release that pain and to regularly cleanse ourselves. Otherwise, old pain begins to smother our creativity, our joy, and our ability to connect with others. It impacts our health, and can even kill us.
This is a transformational and soul-invigorating ceremony designed to break through our cultural barriers of grief. There is a need to periodically feel and express grief in order to purge the soul from hurts and pains. The suppression and denial of emotion in general, and grief in particular, has been linked to spiritual drought, emotional confusion and certain illnesses we experience in our lives. To begin to regain a serious and lasting sense of connectedness with ourselves and with spirit, we need to find a proper place to release our grief.
