In the tradition of spiritual abolition, grief is understood to be a teacher and partner, helping us to recognize that grief is the tension we feel as something changes, forcing us to figure out who we are in this shifting. And grief is the uncomfortable experience of not getting what we want. Mourning is how we tend to grief – through expressing the experience of discomfort, ambiguity, somatic embodiment, and ritual. Join Lama Rod for this spiritual abolitionist journey where they will rely on the wisdom of Tantric Buddhism, African spirituality, the Black Prophetic tradition, American Indigenous traditions, & sacred herbalism to understand and experience why our full embodiment of freedom must center tending to our broken hearts while invoking real joy to hold the labor of liberation.
