Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the rich sharing again on Wednesday night. I personally have felt this story moving me a bit more deeply into the process this week.
The link to the video if you'd like to watch it is here:

And the weekly invitations:
The Feast
-Go foraging for wild food. Research edible plants, discover a new wild recipe.
-Host a 'Potlatch' gathering. Invite people to share food sometime in the coming weeks.
The Grief
(Journalling exercises)
-Consider grief that you carry. Is any of it ready to move? Speak that grief to the river (or journal). How can we anchor/support ourselves when engaging with our grief?
How can we express it in a useful way and create lightness?
Maybe check out Malidoma Some, Francis Weller etc
