The Social Change Sanctuary invites you to join us in an intentional space of collective mourning, facilitated by Alison Ramer. Through song, poetry, prayer, and the sharing of stories, we will create a sacred container to hold what feels too heavy to carry alone.

Together, we will honor the devastation—of lives lost, dreams deferred, and futures shattered—and reflect on the intersections of political, ecological, and spiritual grief that weigh on so many of us. This gathering will center the unique grief and resilience of those witnessing and resisting systemic oppression, amplifying the call for justice and peace.

Grief, when shared, transforms. It becomes a connective tissue, weaving together our resilience, our compassion, and our capacity to hold each other and respond to crises with clarity and care. This gathering offers a space to honor the losses—those brought by genocide, systemic injustice, floods, fires, authoritarianism—and the cascading impacts of a world in desperate need of wise and courageous leadership. Here, we will sit with the sorrow, witness each other’s truths, and begin to metabolize what feels unbearable, held together in community.
