"Don't turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place.
That's where the light enters you." Rumi
This has been a time of great loss.
And immense dissolution. Of dreams. And forests. Of relationships, homes, families and systems. Of the things we once believed in purely and radically. And of the things we were willing to stand up for and hold on to. this has been a cycle of letting go on a monumental scale…In ways we never saw coming or could ever fathom this was their end.
And the truth is, we're all grieving. Grieving SO MUCH in these transitioning times. For the loss of sacred land and precious home. For the loss of pristine forests and succulent beach. For the loss of family, loved ones and integral parts of ourselves. For the loss of dreams and capacities, and things we thought we'd be doing. For the loss of who we thought WE were and were becoming. And the reckoning with who we've been and actually long to be. Actually long to be. |
Grief, Grace, God...dess! provides rich medicine for the soul of humanity in these times.
It is sent to you as a digital package through a .pdf workbook and .mp3 audios. This is a sacred resource that incorporates support for y/our grief through:

the passage through our grief is not logical nor a straight-through shot.
It's circuitous and meandering. Taking us far back into a lost innocence. A terrifying moment.
Into a memory that rises up quick and fast, once overwhelming our system and causing us to shut down. And now this time. THIS time. We don't. We can't. We aren't. Shutting down. we aren't shutting down our hearts to the ache that goes beyond our comprehension.We aren't shutting down our openness to what's holding its hand out to us.
We aren't shutting down our memories of dreams once longed for and what needs to be done to allow them to flourish and breathe. We aren't shutting down our deepest hearts presence to ourselves. We're letting it in. We're letting it return. We're letting it FLOW. Right back to us. Offering this River Of Our Tears. To carry us on. Flowing. Flowing. As we move through this Grief Journey. Together. |

a deeper purpose
Many indigenous cultures acknowledge grief work and ceremony as an integral part of the healthy fabric and healing of society. Communities gather to share song and dance in honor of all that's torn their hearts apart and open. Women throw themselves on the earth, wailing without reserve. People openly speak to their Gods and deities, asking for support and intervention. Shedding their angst, proclaiming their doubt, fear and limitations. Honoring they are not in this alone.
The intention of this Grief Journey is to provide a safe container and guidepost for this much-needed societal wisdom and healing. Within our modern-day context, Grief, Grace, God...dess! provides time and space to have our heartache held within a Feminine-based container, while drawing upon the wisdom of our larger community of support. |
We carry within us stories of dust and tears.
Embarrassed gasps and stifled whimpers. Skinned egos on dirt playgrounds. Resilience soaked in swamped boats. A list of firsts. Another list of lasts. Cupboards full of “what ifs.” Words lodged in our bones; petroglyphs we can’t decipher. We bind grief with a corset made of barbed wire, fearing that if it breathed, we would never stop bleeding. Invite grief on your journey. Allow your grief to breathe. ~ anne richardson one of our Soul Medicine Keepers |

what others are saying
"I am here with so much feeling in my body. And such a powerful validation of how grief has worked so persistently to let me know that She is nearby always with me. I am building dams to actually hold back the power of grief and the gift She wants to give me .... I am keeping myself from being fully alive here now. I don't want to be standing with one foot in this world and one foot in the beyond. Today's transmission has filled me with a new perspective ...a new hope. A doorway into the possibility of love "found" not love "lost ".
~ participant, east coast USA

"I'm finding actual physical comfort in the softening of my grief and being with it. And amazingly, I find myself tiptoeing into GRACE. The flow of this journey is speaking volumes to me. I was in such a dark, almost defeated place. I was thinking to myself about how I was perceiving my path through this and how much emphasis I was putting on Grief. My mind didn't compute the Grace and Goddess aspects. They felt so far away from me. The idea was wonderful but not something I thought myself capable of. But I do feel it today. And I know that this will be an ongoing process in my life, and I welcome that now. Thank you!" ~ participant, west coast USA

"There are many open processes of Grief in my life, and certainly more to come. There has been one that I have greatly neglected, and on the eve of this journey it showed her tender face to me. So I chose to grieve myself on this journey.
I chose to hold so tenderly and to fully grieve the ways that I have turned away from God. These are times when I have lost my faith, moments when I have questioned God's Grace, not least so in moments of grief when I have turned my face away from Righteousness, and in so doing, have denied my grief the possiblity of coming home. For in my heart I know; there is no river the ocean does not receive." participant, England |
"It has been a tender sanctuary. It has been heartening to know I’m not alone in my grief. I have wondered at the heightened awareness I’ve experienced and marveled at the power of group intention. I’m grateful to all the participants, willing and unknowingly, who joined me on this wild journey." ~ participant, west coast USA
"Now I see (grief) with a different lens, a lens that I could've only come to by going through the grief process." ~ participant, east coast USA
|
"Loving people have grief, and Collective grieving is essential for health and well being. I am so tired of the habit to isolate and live alone with grief. I need to be closer to others who have softened their hearts, who are willing to walk together and recognize their deep sorrow as well as their loving joy and connection. I think in our societal dysfunction we have made grief into a selfish experience. Today I aim to slow and soften to the fear and recognition that this body (mine and all of the worlds') is temporal and precious, made of love and light and everything in between." ~ participant, east coast USA

Sharon is a Wise Woman and Priestess of Grief, having worked with its deepest waters to learn how we flow with its descending current into a practice of one’s own self-care, community connection and love.
Through this intimate and rich Grief pilgrimage, she gifts her sacred reflections and impeccable care to support coming into greater relationship with oneself and the hardest challenges of our lives. It is here we discover how we make it through. Not necessarily to an ‘other’ side,' for there may not be one. Rather, into a deeper discovery of how we make it IN. Into a more intimate sense of what is honest, true and joyful for ourselves and all we're connected to. This is how we release what no longer is working, to enter the coming times through our own interior cleansing and rebirth. The likes of which we didn’t know was possible.

Bonita Woolf
Throughout my life I've craved to go deeper, to know deeper, to explore deeper... like my true self existed in the depths of my being. I understand and embrace this about myself now and naturally surrender to this movement, to this magnetic pull that happens organically from deep within guiding me to the mysteries of life that lie hidden but not forgotten. I am a qualified Womb Guide, passionate about supporting women to heal and awaken to their deeper sacred nature. I teach the fundamentals of womb healing as a self-healing process, including embodiment practices to nourish our bodies energetically through the cultivation of Shakti. As a guide into the Womb realms, what touches my soul the most is being able to hold women through the most tender thresholds. I offer one-on-one InUtero journeys to facilitate healing our entry into this realm, healing energetically from sexual violation, healing ancestral bloodlines, preparing our wombs for conception, preparing energetically for birthing, healing after miscarriage or termination of pregnancy…. all sessions being entry points, tender gateways for healing and restoring the sovereignty of our feminine soul at this time. It’s been a long and ineffably deep journey, of entrainment and personal healing, in preparation to be in service to life in this way. Healing my grief has played a key role in the restoration and reclamation of soul remembrance. Today I live a life ablaze with sacred purpose that has slowly been birthing from the deeper realms of my being. It has not been an easy path, but it's been my path, the depth of which I now totally embrace. I'm so grateful for my commitment to my path, to be in service to life as a guide into the depths of creation itself through womb consciousness that holds profound healing and beauty |

Natalie Rani Marie
Natalie is passionate about healing and supporting people connecting with the divine. Over the past 20 years, she has learned a lot about the healing arts from healers and teachers from different lineages around the world. Natalie graduated with her Bachelors in Psychology in 2008. She started working full time at a corporate job but continued to feel more drawn to the healing arts. She completed her Reiki Master certification in 2014 in the White Light Reiki lineage. After spending 6 years working in the corporate setting, she decided to pursue a Master’s in Transpersonal Psychology. This led her to pursue her Master’s at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA where she completed her degree in Integral Counseling Psychology in 2017. While she was completing her studies, she was introduced to different spiritual teachers outside of the school setting who taught her to remember why she is here and to share her medicine without fear. They encouraged her to take a less traditional route and thus, Tending Your Spirit was born. She completed her certification for The Emotion Code® in March, 2019 taught by Dr. Bradley Nelson. In 2021, she completed her training with the Òran an Rìbhinn: The Venusian Song Certification Program facilitated by Liv Mokai Wheeler. Natalie continues to study with Liv Mokai and the Kontomblé and she has supported many healing journeys that Liv has led around the world, including in Mongolia, Panama, Peru, Japan, California, Florida and North Carolina, along with many virtual ceremonies and rituals. Through Tending Your Spirit, Natalie has conducted programs focusing on supporting people tending their grief, finding their voice, navigating conflict, and so much more. She continues to do individual and group healing work utilizing all the tools she carries in her medicine bag. Natalie's sessions with her clients are held as sacred healing ceremonies. She sees healing as a way for all of us to clear out the density that trauma creates in our bodies and rediscover the true essence of our beings by reconnecting with our hearts and bravely living from that space. She believes in the power of healing both individually and in community. She loves to hold space for the “shadow” aspects of ourselves that most people tend to turn away from. She knows how powerful it can be when we go through the darkness to discover the light within. |

Aletheia Sophia
Aletheia Sophia is a Writer, Mythologist, Minister and Whisperer of Sacred Wisdom. Her highly acclaimed books, courses, transmissions and workshops focus on the development of the mythic imagination, and on the relevance of fairy tales and folk traditions to the personal, cultural and environmental problems we face today. Aletheia has an intense relationship to the land, especially the French Pyrenees, Egypt and Ireland. All of her work springs from an irresistible intimacy with the land, which is rooted in as much as the myths and stories of place as it is in a detailed knowledge of the physical and historical environment. Aletheia has led workshops throughout Europe and North America. Now, you will find her at home with her husband and mother in the mountains where they have taken on an almighty project – the restoration of an old Catholic summer house for children into the White Rose Mystery School, complete with chapel, Bed and Breakfast, Vegan café, Apothecary of Body Ritual’s and Animal Sanctuary. They produce a large proportion of their own food, keeping goats, sheep, pigs and a miscellany of poultry; a large thriving permaculture garden/food forest. Over time she has developed an oral message that stirs the remembrance of a continuous lineage with the Feminine Principle that throughout the centuries has preserved its spiritual dignity, without the need for permission or recognition from any other source. She is here to deepen your spiritual journey and to offer you a safe space whilst doing so. If you feel a calling toward a tradition strongly rooted in the presence of Mary Magdalene, Gnostic Sophia and Christ’s early teachings you will find a palpable vein of Truth surrounding her. Aletheia lives in the Cathar region of Southern France with her beloved husband Pete Wilson. Together they run Les Contes, a B & B at the base of Montsegur where individuals, families and large groups can come and stay. Aletheia has designed her own clothing range, which she calls Anaiya's Wardrobe, and has created her own anointing oils, called SOPHIA Temple Oils. She is currently alchemizing the waters of La Source de Belisama into "Sacred Source" medicinal holy water for drinking and healing. |

Amy is a contemporary sacred artist and spiritual activist now based in North Carolina. She began drawing at a young age while growing up in New Hampshire and completed undergraduate studies in fine art. After relocating to Portland in the early 90s, she discovered figurative sculpture through classes at the Pacific NW College of Art and studied at Hipbone Studio for six years while maintaining a thriving graphic design business. In 2001, after a spiritual awakening that unfolded over a long period of grieving, she answered her soul calling to work professionally as an artist. In 2003, Amy founded Sacred Art Studio after a transformative ten-day training with environmentalist Joanna Macy and dedicates her work to the healing of our world. Drawing inspiration from all spiritual traditions and the wisdom of our indigenous ancestors, Amy’s artwork reveals through a symbolic language our innate interconnectedness in the web of creation and reverences the earth as holy.

Sarah Page
Sarah Page is a metaphysical alchemist, who focuses on transforming poison via the Frost Method: traveling through it. An Oregon artist who lives in a vibrant family of seven (including the furry babies!), Sarah has found that sometimes the best way to find an answer is to stop seeking it. The Question Garden can yield all kinds of surprises if we let it do what it does best: rest and grow. Of all the times, right now is her favorite. Sarah has been on a lifelong bear path and is committed to learning the infinite languages of Love. A curious investigator, she has a keen ability to hear what your mouth isn’t saying. Sarah has a genetic sense of ridiculous stemming from most branches of her ancestral line, and swears she isn’t laughing at you, it’s just that your words can innocently be coins in the random joke jukebox of her brain. Within our Grief journey, Sarah acknowledges that grief is asking us to see it exactly as it is, and at the very least, just see it when it shows up. She senses that Grief would describe her as a friend and a safe place. Grief would say she is here to (re)learn about her Self and to help others find the treasure of themselves through the process of befriending grief. |

St. Helens with her husband, several of her six children and grandchildren, five dogs, and Lucy the cat. Within our Grief Journey, Janice shares, "Grieving comes from the soul. Depression comes from the mind." Through our tender conversation, she spoke about the death of her son. And the honesty of her grief. How she daily questions why this had to happen. We spoke about how grief takes you to places that can't be fixed. And how it brings you to the honest truth... that there's no assurance of any next moment, ever! The immensity of Janice's grief has brought her to the place of longing to be her best, as a way of honoring her son. To be who she inherently is. And allow that part of herself to come out. The real her. May her REAL wisdom bless us all. |
