When & Where

Sep 24, 2021, 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Wapato Farm, 15115 NW Gillihan Rd, Portland, OR 97231, USA

Who

What

When we compost we turn the soil and mix the remains with the new, the stagnant with the fresh. We invite you to do this with your grief, to integrate, express, connect with your grief and the land. 

Whether your grief calls you to sit by the fire, be surrounded by song, share your story, sit or lay in silence, moan and move with the land, you will be welcome to do it. 

We will have a loose plan for the evening and you are welcome to move through it in whatever way suits you:

Some togetherness around 7pm

  • Firepit circle as we connect with the land

  • Singing from the Portland Threshold Singers
