When & Where

Oct 25, 2025, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM

Columbia Children's Arboretum, 10040 NE 6th Dr, Portland, OR 97211, USA

What

Too often, loss and grief pulls and pushes us away from circles of love and care. The earth, though, is always waiting for us.


They are here waiting for us to remember our creaturehood, remember all of the ways we are and can be held by our more-than-human kin.


Creatures of Earth is a time to be with the land, the trees, the sun and earth; a time to let your grief be heard and held.


Together we will:

- Enjoy custom crafted tea, created in collaboration with the plants themselves

- Move through gentle, somatic, grounding practices to explore what your grief wants you to know, what your body and heart want you to know
