Grief as Solidarity: Reclaiming Our Capacity to Connect

​Many of us were never taught how to grieve together.

​In a modern, colonial world that prioritizes productivity, control, and individualism, grief is often silenced, rushed, or pathologized. Some losses are never acknowledged at all—ancestral displacement, loss of relationship to land and place, ecological devastation, cultural rupture, collective violence. When grief is disenfranchised, it doesn’t disappear; it often shows up as guilt, numbness, anxiety, or disconnection.

​This workshop is grounded in the understanding that whiteness is not a race, but a condition of rupture—a historical severing from indigeneity, land, kinship, and communal ways of being. That rupture comes with profound, often ungrieved loss. When grief is inaccessible, our capacity for connection, accountability, and solidarity is also diminished.

​Grief as Solidarity invites participants to gently explore grief as a relational and political capacity—not something to “get over” or move past, but something that can reconnect us to ourselves, to each other, and to collective responsibility.

​This space is especially for those feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to stay engaged with collective suffering without shutting down or burning out.

​No prior experience is required. You are welcome to participate at your own pace, with care for your nervous system and boundaries.
