Mothering Our Grief
Jul

Mothering Our Grief

Enormous grief exists within motherhood. And yet in our grief phobic, grief illiterate society, we make far more room to celebrate rather than to mourn even though both are inherent in change, moving from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Come join a conversation about making room for grief, meeting it with the compassion and patience of a loving mother. This evening we will be a talk about grief rather than engaging in an intentional experience of processing grief. There will be sharing about grief as well as an opportunity to engage in dialogue together. @donna.helete www.donnahelete.com Donna Helete is a relationship tender, mentor, community builder, and non-profit leader. She became a single mother to her two adult children 9 years ago when her husband died. Her real life credentials and experience with community grief rituals informed her career shift into grief work which includes two years as a hospice bereavement counselor, paying forward the support she once received. Through her experience, she learned there's a regenerative nature to grief which allows for transformational growth after loss. She is honored to support people making space for grief, love, death, and vibrant living. She embraces a broad definition of grief in her work and provides one-on-one grief counseling sessions as well as other offerings which can be found on her website donnahelete.com. You can contact her at donnahelete@gmail.com. She can also be found each morning on her back deck sipping a strong, hot cup of coffee, listening to birdsong and hoping fox pays a visit.

The Bunker presents: Jack Kennelly, Chris Beland, Luke Francis & Max Maclaury

Seattle-based singer-songwriter, Luke Francis, navigates the emotional landscape with the finesse of a seasoned storyteller. Born and raised in the suburbs of San Francisco, Francis relocated to Washington at 19 years old and was quickly enchanted by the lush sounds and rich heritage of Pacific Northwest indie folk. In 2019 an invitation to play the Nowhere Else Festival in Cincinnati, OH landed him onstage with Americana greats such as John Paul White (The Civil Wars) and Allison Russell. Shortly thereafter Francis joined Americana band Fretland, and spent the following years playing and recording with them, living nomadically wherever allowed him to continue honing his songwriting craft – a tent on the Skykomish river, an 1800s log cabin, the spare bedrooms of benevolent lawyers. When Fretland’s touring schedule ground to a halt with the onset of the pandemic, the hiatus provided a silver lining, prompting Francis to begin work on the songs which would comprise a soul-searching solo project.

Qoya Inspired Movement Feminine Fire - Dancing with the potent portals of Pain & Pleasure
Jul

10:00 AM10:00

Qoya Inspired Movement Feminine Fire - Dancing with the potent portals of Pain & Pleasure

We often explore in Qoya the freedom that there’s no wrong way to move our body, which allows us to focus less on how it looks and more on how it feels. Through movement, ritual, and community connection, we learn to trust the physical sensation of truth in our bodies. This practice is designed to allow us to feel how the body and movement are portals to remembering, shifting from going through the motions to savoring life as sacred. Classes are a place to remember how to listen to your body and explore what it feels like when you stay in resonance with yourself, enabling us to move out of our head/thinking and move back into the body/feeling and trust what we notice. This method can be practiced at any age, fitness level, and mobility. There is no way you can do Qoya wrong, there are no levels, no experience is needed, just a willingness to show up for yourself, your intentions, and your prayers. There are also opportunities to connect with like-hearted souls, build belonging, and activate a movement of women who connect with their essence as wise, wild, and free.
