As a part of Grief in Public Day, this Sunday, April 26, from 11AM - 2PM, we’ll be Moving Rocks at the Lincoln Rd entrance to Prospect Park.
Come share what you’ve been carrying alone. Give your grief to a rock.
Name it. Hold it. Move it. Offer it.
Let’s be in our grief, together.
Tonight I’m lighting a candle for Alex Pretti, and all the soul’s transitioning so suddenly and violently after being murdered by ICE.
Tibetan Buddhists light a candle for 49 days after death, with the intention of guiding the spirit as they navigate stages of the bardos (stages of realms /afterlife) before rebirth. I believe this is especially important when death is sudden or violent.
Im lighting this candle in the hopes that this light supports their transition in whatever way possible. I pray they feel the love that they carried in their lives surrounding them as they travel. The gratitude that we are carrying amidst our broken hearts. I’m so sorry they never got to say goodbye or prepare for death. May their memory be a blessing. May their transition be as easeful as possible. May there be justice for his life, for all their lives.
We’re all death doulas now. Not just in community as we honor each other’s lives, but as a practice. Doulaing a transition of a culture, a conditioning, that has been guided by fear and othering, by power. Supporting/being steadfast with this transition through compassionate action and love. We have got to say goodbye to systems that have caused so much violence, so much harm and so much suffering.
Let their memories fuel us to have the courage to say goodbye to what is no longer serving this planet. Let their memories remind us that we can build and birth new ways of being.
Solidarity with Minneapolis. Stand strong. We are all so inspired by your loving action.

Leaning into the darkness, the deepening, the sleepiness of this cycle.
I always find this time asks me to reflect on my losses and ask myself what still needs a goodbye? What are you sitting with as the days darken? What still needs to be seen, held, or spoken to?
Light your candles, have your fires, feel the darkness and make it quiet. Say your goodbyes, speak them to the darkness. Wishing everyone a restful solstice. 🕯️
Grateful to the elders and wisdom keepers such as
for their insight on this time and our cycles.
