The Morrigan Project: Communal Movement Rituals for Grief

(Though this particular demo is happening in Erie in a couple of weeks, it’s something that I really really really want to take on the road, so if you’re interested after looking into this, contact me, via email or on Facebook.)

This is what I've been up to for the past many months: Experimenting with and developing embodiment ritual processes for grief, working in community to express and transform.

These processes have been created so I can take them to any group, anywhere, and go through steps that will result in a unique-to-that-group representation of their own inner journey as well as the journey shared with community.

Whether the daily small things that happen to all of us or those momentous losses that change everything, everyone is walking around with grief in their hearts, and very few of us have effective ways to express and transform that grief over time.

We've especially lost connection to rituals that are body based, and so we have the Morrigan Project.

This is a demonstration of PROCESSES rather than a performance of a product.

I'll be giving a short talk; my movement artists will share what they've been working on together for the past months; and we'll all share in some very simple grief expressions (not mandatory).

Please arrive early.

DEMO AT UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST CHURCH on Perry Highway in Erie, Sunday, June 23rd, 10:30 AM

AND PLEASE: Bring either a photo of someone you've lost and would like to remember or an object that symbolizes a grief for you.
