Community Grief Ceremony facilitated by Kristi Rogers, Society for Sacred Listening, Amy Renee DearHeart, and Paul Sutoris - Sunday, Feb 15, 2:30-4:30 pm CST, The Greenwood Social Hall, Kansas City, MO

Join us for a community gathering and collectively held space to honor grief as a sacred form of love with nowhere to go.

Through ceremony and circle-singing carefully facilitated by Kristi Rogers with members of the Society for Sacred Listening, Amy Renee, and Pauly Lama, participants are invited to embody the dual role of compassionate witness for Self and Community, without fixing or intervening, and each tending their own experience while cocreating a grounded, respectful container.

What This Is:

-A space where grief is welcomed without needing to be explained or resolved

-A gathering where participants witness one another through presence, not advice or intervention

-An invitation to express or sit with grief through sound, voice, or stillness, guided from within

-A collectively held container rooted in care, self-responsibility, and mutual respect

What This Isn't:

-A place to release emotions without awareness of the shared space

-A therapy session or group processing circle

-A container where others are expected to manage or absorb your experience

-A chaotic or disruptive environment — the space is held with intention, not intensity
