"To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.”
― Wendell Berry
Let’s slow to receive the gifts that darkness brings.
Let's Sing.
Let's Ask & Listen --
....as we end the year, How do i befriend the Descent? What grief in me needs tending to make space for winter dark? What rituals help me make meaning? How do i fuel my heart-hearth in the dark?
and then as we venture into the new, ..... How do i rest in the fertile Void? What is being decomposed, in me personally/ in us collectively? What inquiries are most alive in me? What am i here to Vessel? What dreams are being born in me? Who else carries these sacred seeds?
In this 9-week small group online gathering, we will:
+ ground in presence through breath and gentle movement
+ sing easy-to-learn songs that sense the season and grow the soul
+ welcome the grief that often mingles with holiday merriment
+ slow to harvest the arc of the year through writing & reflection
+ encourage and nourish each other's journeys through sacred witness
+ practice being ok with not knowing -- holding the questions with devotion
+ co-create a group field of caring Presence to steady us
