Holding Hope in Grief is an act of care and love to our community. These sessions are intended to provide a space to explore grounding practices to regulate your nervous system, as well as a space to build community and discuss concrete ways to foster resilience. While therapeutic, this is not a traditional therapy group and is not a replacement for therapy. Whether you consider yourself a seasoned activist or have felt unsure how to take action as of yet, we invite anyone who wants to work towards building a more just world together.

• Our second session on grief and hope utilizes art making through cartography. Maps can be an artistic representation of a geographical concept. Humans have been map-makers throughout the entirety of our civilization. In fact, humanity’s earliest maps tend to focus on the terra incognita, or the universe’s unseen or unknown parts, like the heavens. 

• What happens when we allow mapmaking to be a part of our grief-journeys? In this class, we will focus on making a grief map. Some questions we will explore: what does your personal “grief map” take the shape of? Where does it begin and lead to? How does it keep us from getting lost, by inherently showing us a way out of the lostness? Can this map make us feel safer to feel our feelings? Should this map lead to the “place of hope & faith,” or somewhere else?
