Grief ritual in movement

January 25 @ 10 h 00 min – 12 h 00 min WET

Online ritual

book your spot

A dedicated held time for you to grieve and praise, to mourn through movement and creative contemplatives practices.

Whether you are grieving the state of the world, someone dear to your heart, honouring a gate in your life,… there is place for you and your emotions.

We will circle together, honour individual and collective grief, with emphasis on body-wisdom and presence, more than storytelling.

A brave and safe explorative space supported by nature, with lots of space for your own process and rhythm.

Blending contemplative practices, Authentic Movement and Open Floor movement practice, with gentleness, loving kindness and reverence for what is.

“Grief is subversive, undermining the quiet agreement to behave and be in control of our emotions. It is an act of protest that declares our refusal to live numb and small. There is something feral about grief, something essentially outside the ordained and sanctioned behaviors of our culture. Because of that, grief is necessary to the vitality of the soul. Contrary to our fears, grief is suffused with life-force…. It is not a state of deadness or emotional flatness. Grief is alive, wild, untamed and cannot be domesticated.”
– Francis Weller, The Wild Edge of Sorrow

What to expect : movement and dance, with and without music, guided and free, some sounding, some journaling, some humour too.

One-to-One session

Pix: Vic Cooper

“It’s a transformative experience to simply pause instead of immediately fill up the space. By waiting, we begin to connect with fundamental restlessness as well as fundamental spaciousness.”

-Pema Chodron

Feeling the need to dive into a topic you feel tender about or busy with?
Schedule a 1:1 session with me to gently explore what is here through your body.

A safe & brave time-space just for you, to be witnessed and held with what is present for you.

Trauma-informed & nervous system friendly.

Rooted in Rooted in Belonging

“Through our ability to acknowledge
the layers of loss,
we can truly discover our capacity
to respond, to protect,
and to restore what has been damaged.”

“Grief and love are sisters,
woven together from the beginning.
Their kinship reminds us that there is no love that does not contain loss,
and no loss that is not a reminder of the love we carry of what we once held close.”

Francis Weller

Equinox : autumn ritual

EQUINOX
Autumn ritual for womb carriers & womyn
held by Anaïs Tamen & Rivi Marcus

Thursday 21.09.23
10am-6pm
Monte Maravilhas (São Martinho das Amoreiras)

*

EQUINOX : a day of passage, a gate to feel the echoes of nature’s changes within us, the inner & outer transitions, the continuous dance of the elements.

The winds are changing, the air is getting heavier with moist. The land is at harvest and our body is moving slower.

An invitation to pause and create space within to welcome this new season.

We invite you to this ritual, in togetherness and connected solitude, to witness each others in our inner movements, through dance, grief work and nature time, honoring what wants to be harvested.

Reservation necessary.

A grief ritual in movement held by Rivi Marcus and Anaïs Tamen

Sunday 27rd of November
2pm-6pm 
Monte Maravilhas 
São Martinho das Amoreiras 

In these times calling for radical authenticity, we wish to tend and nourish the loving courage to go towards what we know is deeply needed. To give time to grieve, rest, heal, get supported and support.

Our offering to you is to open and hold a safe space to honor our stories and witness each other in the powerful practices of grief and movement. We will do this through Joanna Macys and Malidoma Somé work, Authentic movement, and other Earth-based practices. 

We will travel through our heart’s landscapes and explore the undercurrents of our life, compost what does not serve us any longer, and use it to fertilize and grow our precious gifts to the world. 

All this to reclaim and nourish our own wisdom and what we truly care about, practice staying in our hearts, and embody what we most want to call in.
