grief garden (sliding scale + payment plans available)

grief garden is an in-depth exploration of the Dagara grief ritual through an ancestral somatic lens.

each weekend, facilitators expand on different aspects of the grief ritual to create a grounded, community-oriented space for participants to prepare for the Dagara grief ritual.

elements of ancestral somatic and herbal allyship practice will be woven in as a complement to the deeper study of Dagara medicine, the elements, the clans, and the ritual itself, with ample time to explore the stories our bellies hold and gather in our clans to discuss our roles within both the ritual and the community.

participants will also be introduced to the gates of grief as a somatic preparation for the ritual.

movement, song, herbal education, somatic practice, altar-building, and artistic expression will be offered.

this program is offered on a sliding scale of $500-$1500. this covers payment for facilitators, materials, food, and supplies for each weekend. payment plans are available.
