We all experience pain and loss in life – conflict, illness, disappointed dreams, broken relationships, loved ones who die or suffer…It is important to have healthful ways to release that pain and to regularly cleanse ourselves.
In the traditional world of the Dagara of Burkina Faso, West Africa, the ritual of grief, is their way of releasing the tensions caused by loss and of restoring continuity in relationships.
The Grief Ritual follows the traditional model of the Dagara. It is our hope that these rituals deepen our connections to life, and the earth; and bring a deep sense of release.
