Would you like to join a in-depth keening retreat that delves into grief through creative practices like doll-making and weaving, and offers grief rituals such as pilgrimage and a keening circle? Which aspects resonate with you the most?

Are you interested in learning how to hold a keening circle? From learning the basics and then co-creating with others and then putting that into practice? If so share how you might use this.

Do you have an effective way of processing grief? What are your thoughts around exploring your grief through art and ritual?

If re-envisioning keening is about using the inspiration of this ancient ritual to meet modern needs, what are your individual needs in exploring grief?
