Registration is $15. If this is a barrier to your participation, please send a note to mara@marastone.co and I will register you. All registrants will receive additional information in advance of the vigil including preparatory notes and more detailed driving directions for reaching the barn.

This vigil is a time for centering our sorrows — the ones in our collective field, the sorrows of the world. Grief tending in this way is an act of healing for ourselves, our Earth and our community. All are welcome. Circles are confidential and how you participate is always your choice.

There is much in our midst that is asking for our loving attention; let's join together in light and warmth as we approach the dark days of Winter. Please reach out with any questions to mara@marastone.co.

NEW FOR SPRING 2023: Emily is bringing herbs/tea to share at each session. Please SIGN UP HERE so we can plan accordingly.

Many of us sense that what we experience as private sadness is shared common grief. We are here to acknowledge that truth–that none of us is separate; that the suffering of one is the suffering of many and that healing is also a shared experience.

As beings, we instinctually move toward each other in times of joy and sorrow; our impulse is often to share our stories and to connect through receiving others’, but we don’t always have that opportunity. This circle is an intentional way to share our personal stories of grief in a process sometimes called ‘grief tending’.

Ultimately, the act of sharing and receiving builds the personal and cultural resilience we all need to thrive in difficult times. Attendees agree to maintain confidentiality of participants and shared discussion.

Donations cover the herbal tea ceremony and the remainder is donated to Maine Needs . Donations of over $100 went to Maine Needs from our winter sessions. Questions? Email mara[at]marastone.co.
