As we return to our “normal” life after being in a circle of deep openness, we may find ourselves taken aback by the speed or the harshness of the human world around us. Grief symptoms are intended to slow us down, turn us inward and suspend us in time. Ancestral wisdom says value this suspension, prescribe naps, and respect the symptoms. Our grief wants to be welcomed. It’s the body’s response to a profound change. That change requires space to integrate.

This Integration Ritual was created to provide some invitations for aftercare and resources to support your integration.
