From our recent conversation “Ancient Rhythms: Dreaming into Death and Renewal” , Francis Weller’s gives a beautiful explanation on the dynamics of grief and gratitude. This conversation invited participants into a virtual ceremonial space at the threshold of winter’s deepest darkness (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere). Through poetry, storytelling, and depth-filled dialogue, this solstice offering created a contemplative space to honor life’s cyclical nature—embracing grief, releasing what no longer serves, and awakening to the tender seeds of potential waiting in the fertile darkness.
