Introducing The Holy Wail.
A somatic and ritual grief space which seeks to engage grief on all levels of our beings and the Worlds. While verbal-cognitive sharing is welcome, we also use ritual and body/energy, meeting each other in a "bottom-up" way that delves deeper than our social-verbal channels. This is a brave space of co-witnessing. Originally I devised this space from the piece of writing I did in September called Azazel and the Spoonie Scapegoat. This was a ritual space to devised to make grief a collective and shared thing, to disrupt the norms of mad, neurodivergent and disabled people holding grief in isolation, considered " too much" for our inability to tune it out. Since then our worlds have changed irrevocably. The need for co-held grief spaces is constant. This is one of many very fine grief spaces. We are trying something different. We've held it a few times before (with various names) and it's been very special. Hope you'll join us. Please RSVP to willowandalder@gmail.com. Suggested donation 15$ No One Turned Away For Lack of Funds. Let us know your access needs for Online space.

Currently held by anti-zionist Jewish somatic practitioners Amber and Yew. Everyone welcome. With ritual tools such as keening, spinning, saltwater and song. In the tradition of mourners and keeners everywhere, we will use ancient ritual tools for holding, feeling, moving our grief in community.
