As we enter summer it feels good to lighten our spirits by releasing the weight of grief that many of us carry for ourselves and for the world.

This Sunday Grief Salon is a gentle introduction to working with the ”5 gates of Grief” discussed in Francis Weller’s book “The Wild Edge of Sorrow”.

After a cleansing sauna and cold plunge (optional) and light brunch we will sit in circle to work with the sacred emotion of grief.

Northern CA based grief facilitator and therapist Joshua Lowe will be leading us through the 5 Gates:

First Gate: Everything we love we will lose.
Personal loss of loved ones, relationships, careers, loss of health. Here we are initiated into the medicine of vulnerability.

Second Gate: The Places that have not known love.
Parts of us that have been shamed, not allowed, or harshly judged. Here we are initiated into the medicine of compassion.

Third Gate: The Sorrows of the World.
Climate change, poverty, war and the collective pain of humanity.
Here we are initiated into the medicine of entanglement.

Fourth Gate: What you expected and did not receive.
Things we don’t realize we’ve lost, because we weren’t born into a village with full joyous welcome of our gifts.
Here we are initiated into the medicine of belonging.

Fifth Gate: Ancestral Grief
Unacknowledged and untended sorrow of those who came before us.Here we are initiated into the medicine of wisdom.

What Does A Grief Salon Look Like?

This gathering is about sharing what is true for you, whether it’s tears, anger, numbness or fear.

It‘s about authenticity and connection.

There’s no expectation that you express your grief in any specific way. It’s not designed to “fix or process” you.

We’re hear to listen and express gratitude and share your feelings and experience.

This isn’t a depressing event, it’s a joyful, life affirming one.

About the facilitator:

Joshua Lowe is a licensed therapist, public educator, musician, and nature-oriented rites of passage and grief ceremony guide.

He brings 20+ years experience supporting others in transformational journeying and has supported teens and adults in various communities including high school, men’s groups, nature, prisons, and in the therapy office.

Joshua has been mentored in leading grief rituals by Therese Charvet and Laurence Cole who are carriers of the grief rituals taught by Sobonfu Some and Malidoma Some.

He brings a deep reverence for the power of grief ritual as a healing force and is humbled by the opportunity to support others in deepening their relationship to self and community through honoring and expressing grief and joy.

Enjoy tai chi and / or qigong as a regular part of your wellness. These moving arts are ancient and their benefits, many. Harvard Medical Newsletter touted 8 active ingredients when they studied tai chi they say works like a multi drug having a positive synergistic affect on human health and wellbeing producing a variety of good effects such as reducing falls in older people by improving muscular strength and coordination, better general function due to improved posture and alignment… The list goes on and includes benefits that promote longevity and are anticancer which as a health and wellness coach, I support. 8 active ingredients of this delicious nutritious moving wellness art form are listed below my current schedule. The key is in regularity as well…

Please join me on the fitness floor in any of the following opportunities through June:

Mindfulness in Motion at NCRD Gym 11am
Tuesday Tai Chi ~ flow ~ ~ ~
Thursday Qigong ~ Seasonal healing and silk reeling

Also, Join Juli Stratton on the beach for Tai Chi by the Sea 1st and 3rd Wednesdays in the mornings. You can find her post in Events here on BBQ.

8 active ingredients that make tai chi and qigong the multifaceted medicine they are:

1) Awareness
2) Intention
3) Structural Integration
4) Active relaxation
5) Strengthening and flexibility
6) Natural, freer breathing
7) Social support
8) Embodied spirituality

The above is according to Harvard Medical Schools tai chi study program. I know some teachers that say this is great to hear and hopefully gets more people in the door and on the floor. They also say, this practice is so ancient, why pick it apart? Just jump in the tao, play, train, enjoy the ride and the benefits!

Thank you for your time. I hope to see you soon.

Our overall program goals are to bring people in our community together, to get to know one another at a deeper level, and to encourage one another to live our best possible lives.Everyone is welcome to join us!

On June 10th, the theme for our gathering is “getting to know you”. Our intention is to lighten things up a bit, creating community through playful interactive FUN!

Come prepared to share something unique about yourself. It should be true, but not something people generally know about you….the more unusual, unbelievable, and / or quirky the better. It should be something you can write in a few words, not more than a sentence.

In this session, we’re just going to play and have fun….maybe even get downright silly. And in the process of playfully getting to know one another, we are actually creating community. As we share moments in laughter, we are actually building trust. And while having fun is a good enough reason all by itself, the trust we build will be all important in later sessions as we begin to address some of the more difficult conversations around conscious aging.

So come, let your guard down for a couple hours and have some fun!!
June 10th, 2 – 4pm at the Pine Grove Community House in Manzanita.
