Grief Circle — Remembering Love, From Darkness to Light

A sacred space to honor sorrow, release pain, and remember love

At Yanantin Tribe, we open grief circles where heart, body, and spirit can meet. Inspired by ancestral traditions, we gather in community to carry what was never meant to be held alone. Here, darkness and light are both welcome — grief is not fixed or rushed, but witnessed with care.

A grief ritual is a communal gathering where sorrow is given space and form. We welcome all expressions of grief: personal loss, heartbreak, ancestral wounds, collective pain, or a quiet heaviness without a clear name. Through music, song, rhythm, movement, silence, and guided ritual, grief softens and reveals the love beneath it.

Bring: comfortable clothes, water bottle and your own cup for tea, curiosity

The experience

• You may share, move, cry, sing, or remain silent — no pressure to speak

• Place a personal item, photo, or symbol on a shared altar (optional)

• Move through ritual practices that allow grief to be witnessed and released

• Close with grounding and gentle integration so you leave supported

Why this circle matters

This is not therapy. It is a facilitated ritual space rooted in consent, presence, and care.

Come exactly as you are.

You do not have to carry everything alone.

Together, we remember love — and gently move from darkness to light.

Lovingly,

Barbi, András 💕
