Sometimes trauma work needs to be done before a grief ritual. It is highly recommended for people who live with PTSD &/or CPTSD or any kind of recent or active trauma to have a dependable support system set in place when considering joining a grief ritual space. This support system can look like: therapy, community, family, friends, etc. Please consider how this container may impact you if you are living with trauma and that you have these systems already established if so.

Informed Consent

In our discussions, participants may touch upon sensitive themes like sexual violence, suicide, war, and genocide while sharing their grief. Take a moment to tune into how your body is feeling. If you sense that these topics could be overwhelming for your nervous system to process as others express themselves, it is possible that this space isn't the most suitable for your well-being at this time. In that case, thank you for prioritizing your self-care.

Grief retreat can be a place with loud sounds, including wailing and raging, sometimes screaming and physical exertion. People can be processing and excavating some really deep stuff. These environments can sometimes be alarming to people who have sensitivities to sound and over stimulation.
