2026 Lantern Partnership Application 

Thank you for your interest in partnering with The Lantern! We have been so overwhelmed by the incredible ideas for all that can happen in this beautiful space and we're looking forward to connecting with you. We appreciate your patience on our reply as we move through existing proposals and launch our programming. Our next proposal review meeting will happen in September. Thank you for your patience and grace.

About The Lantern and Our Programming

The Lantern is an intergenerational space that invites us to come together and embrace the full human experience. In the spirit of those before us who have gathered in times of healing and holding each other up, we’re here to illuminate the complexity of this one messy, marvelous life. 

The Lantern provides connection and grief support in service of our mission to:

  • Nourish deep connections
  • Expand access to care for grief and healing
  • Advance grief literacy across sectors
  • Reawaken our capacity to grieve, love, and connect

We offer programming that bolsters our infrastructure for connection and grief support, like:
  • Community grief circles
  • Grief rituals and retreats
  • Ceremonies of celebration and loss
  • Art making, writing, and creative workshops
  • Book clubs, film screenings, curated presentations
  • Intimate concerts, choir, sound baths and song circles
  • Yoga, dance, movement classes
  • Mindfulness and meditation
  • Grief and end-of-life education

We invite both ongoing and one-time relationships with practitioners and experienced facilitators. We recognize ritual as a vital part of healing and belonging. We honor the wisdom of many lineages while cultivating practices that emerge from authenticity, reciprocity, and respect. If your offering includes ritual or ceremony, please take a moment to share more about the culture they come from and your connection to that community in the questions below.
