About the event
Together, participants will move through practices of reflection, movement, ritual, and rest, creating space for release, renewal, and community care. Whether your grief is recent or longstanding, personal or collective, you are welcome here.
Facilitator: Tessie Castillo is a Durham-based grief ceremony facilitator working under the mentorship of national grief tenders Lawrence Cole and Therese Charvet. Her approach to crafting ceremony and holding grief with tender care draws on the transformative powers of the natural elements, community witnessing, and movement for emotional and energetic release. The Circle of Healing ceremony was co-created by Tessie Castillo and Rachel Cole, and inspired by the lineages of Francis Weller, Joanna Macy, Malidoma Somé and Sobonfu Somé.
