This month's ritual is for Chronically Ill folks only, however you self ID. Originally my conception of this Grief Ritual was through the body-soul experience of chronic illness as both individually somatic and part of the lack of grief engagement in the collective Soma. The piece I wrote, Azazel and the Spoonie Scapegoat gets into this more. If you relate to or are curious about this framework on chronic illness please come, if you don't like this framework for your chronic illness that is equally valid but this ritual will engage with that framework, which I must add has been extremely helpful for me.

ID: a watercolor painting of a lake in mostly blue tones. Black writing overlaid reads: The Holy Wail Chronic Illness Edition. A somatic and earthbased grief ritual held monthly on the waning moon.
Often our symptoms are not just individual but an expression of collective and ancestral grief. We will listen, dream into and take direction from our symptoms as oracle, creating spontaneous ritual expression from their "voice".Using ancient grief tools such as saltwater, tearing, keening and movement.
Held by Neuroqueer, mad and chronically ill somatic practitioner Amber Katzira. Email willowandalder@gmail.com to register. 15-35$ sliding scale, NOTAFLOF.
