I am sitting with a group of around 30 people. We are working together to look at how we move forward together as a community by acknowledging and grieving for what has separated and divided us in the past. We acknowledge that we have ancestors from many origins. We feel our losses and their losses: of loved ones, of lands that were left behind. Tragedies, wars, conflicts, untimely deaths. Things that were broken and could not be fixed. We see how sometimes we had to shut ourselves down and cut ourselves off in order to survive. As we feel our individual, family and collective grief - for what we experienced and for our ancestors experienced - we release our tears into the earth and we look at each other again with fresh eyes and with open hearts. We feel the power of our collective remembering and our collective healing. We sense into our deeper connection and our longing for a different future where we live in harmony with each other and with the land and all the other beings. We leave with a sense of healing and hope for the future.
