Journey Through Grief

A Year in the Practice & Ritual of Breaking our Hearts Open

March 2026 - March 2027

As we move through this period of intense systemic collapse, confronting one crisis after another, we are experiencing a loss that seems to transcend language. This loss brings forth grief that is both personal and collective, as much as it is nonlinear, ambiguous, potent, and overwhelming. The next few years of our collective experience will be heavy with grief as we tend to the dying of our old world to open to the birth of a world anew. Grief work will be the next stage of healing activism. Join Lama Rod for a yearlong journey through grief from broken to open hearts.
