January 26th 5-6:30 at Maribett Farm in Kingston —co-facilitated by Julia Chase, Marcia Conlon (Death Doula), and Jessica Fox (Permaculture teacher) . Email hello@juliaclairechase to RSVP. $15 suggested donation at door, but no one turned away for lack of funds.

We are living in times of escalating Polycrisis.

For those of us attuned to collective, interrelated realities of Climate collapse, Gen*cid*, Imperialism, Femicide (the list goes on), it can be challenging to honor & be in relationship with the Grief + Anger that comes with this awareness.

We believe that there is a huge need to make room in our community spaces to acknowledge the severity of these realities & honor the grief + anger as indicative of our humanity / a testament to our courage and as a portal for aligned action, change-making, & community building.

All who are aligned with visions for collective liberation are welcome to this community grief ritual, where we will honor the heartbreak + transmute some of the density in relationship with the land, not so that we can rid ourselves of responsibility, but so that we can show up empowered & connected in our responsibilities.

Welcoming women & femmes of all ages to gather as we co-create safe space to orient and express grief with regards to the state of the collective. We are in this together. When we gather like this together to face the realities of the Polycrisis (ie; mental health crisis, climate crisis, genocide, Ecocide) and all of the grief that entails, we are better able to show up as change-makers and co-creators of more sustainable, land-based living. I want us to honor our humanity and feel together in our grief and pain so that we feel less alone showing up to create more life-affirming worlds. We will create ritual with tea, grounding meditation, candles, circle, and the alchemizing power of water to transmute any grief that we express.

Welcoming women and femmes of all ages to gather around the fire at Maribett farm in ceremony as we connect to the land, reflect on the archetype of Mother, and support one another with non-judgment and compassion. You are welcome to bring an item for the collective alter. To register, email Julia at juliachase@root2bloom.org. Optional donation ($10-20).

Welcoming women of all ages - cis, trans, and femme non-binary folks — to gather in ceremonial circle in community with each other, the New Moon, and the primordial salt waters of the Divine Feminine.

Through ritual and guided meditation, and supported by plant allies Lavender & Mugwort, we will travel through deep time, connecting with the ancient matriarchs in out lineages as we re-orient back to these trying times, fortified by a renewed connection to the Web of Live, our divine essence, and compassionate community. There will be space to be heard & witnessed in non-judgmental, compassionate community.

Co-facilitated by Marcia Conlon of Iries Crystals Death Doula and Julia Claire Chase with offerings from other women including optional body scans by Dominique For the Love of Healing. To register, email juliachase@root2bloom.org or message Julia on instagram @julesclairechase.

Suggested donation: $10.

50% of donations will be sent as mutual aid to a community member surviving US-funded genocide in Gaza, Palestine. Venmo j-chase or cash.
