Teachings
Five Gates of Grief
We honor many forms of loss during our time together, including but not limited to the five gates of grief: 1) Everything We Love, We will Lose, 2) The Places That Have Not Known Love, 3) The Sorrows of the World, 4) What We Expected and Did Not Receive, and 5) Ancestral Grief. There is no grief too big or too small to be deserving of community care and support.
