{IN PERSON} Weaving Seasons of Grief Gathering

PLEASE READ: This class is IN PERSON. TICKETS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE.

Class fees are non transferable, we stick to the student agreements agreed upon during registration. Please ensure you are able to attend the scheduled class time.

Grief is a thread woven into the fabric of our lives, coexisting with the cycles of nature.
Join Carla Torres-Davis, Death Doula + Midwife & Resse Quinn, Tarot Reader + Astrologer for an evening of weaving our collective and communal Grief of a loved one – no matter how recent or long ago – in a community setting. During our time together, we will honor the lives of those who are dear to us but no longer with us in intentional activities that thread the layers and cycles of Grief that are still very present within us.

Spring is a time of rebirth and new beginnings, but for those grieving, this can feel like a harsh reminder of the loss we are still carrying. It’s important to allow ourselves to experience the change of seasons at our own pace, finding comfort in both the sorrow and the growth that spring brings. This gathering offers a healing and safe space to witness and be witnessed in our own and each other’s collective Grief around the loss of a special person in our lives. All stories, death circumstances, and genuine human feelings are welcomed and invited!

There will be a Tarot Ritual and an acknowledgment of the energy of the Full Moon in Scorpio to open our gathering. Additionally, we will build a communal Grief Altar during our time together, so please come with a picture or memento of a loved one you would like to honor. If you do not have any mementos, we will provide paper upon which to write their name(s).

You’ll note that Reese embraces their queer, intersectional identities when both teaching and reading. Reese has been a reader at Ritualcravt for over two years and has studied with well-known witches like Lindsay Mack and Pam Grossman and well-respected teachers locally in Denver. In 2021-2022, they completed an apprenticeship with best-selling author and reader of 20+ years, Stefanie Caponi. Their writing is available via the Moon Void Tarot website and they have additional works forthcoming. (@western.moon.witch)
