A guided beach walk.
Free, registration appreciated but not required.
10:00 AM
Meet at the southernmost ramp of Constellation Park
Join Listening to Grief for a Grief Walk at Constellation Park. Walk along the beach with others others who are also grieving. During the walk we will stop a few times for poetry, observation, movement, story sharing, and quiet contemplation. No one is required to share their story, but everyone is expected to listen with an open heart and without judgment. We will not be sharing trauma stories. The focus will be on grief awareness in ourselves and in our communities. The more we acknowledge that grief is a normal part of living, the better we will each be able to carry our own sorrows and support others in their grief.
The duration of the walk will depend on how much time we spend listening, whether to each other’s stories or to the waves crashing.
All are welcome. Keep in mind we will be talking about grief and death. The beach is uneven and rocky, and there may be logs to step over to reach the beach. The ground may be wet. I trust you to know what your body can manage and to take care of yourself accordingly.
Bring water and wear comfortable shoes (see above about uneven ground).
