People’s Clinic
Through the pandemic and beyond, we've witnessed the urgent need for healing spaces rooted in collective care. People’s Clinics invites us to pause, come back to one another, and reimagine how we give and receive care, especially in social movement spaces where burnout, disconnection, and urgency often take hold.
This People’s Clinic is an invitation to acknowledge that:
1) together, our grief serves as a constellation of the human experience;
2) our grief can be transmuted into the deepest expressions of joy; and
3) rituals for processing and metabolizing our grief are required for our healing
The day will begin with an embodied movement practice followed by a ritual flower arranging workshop. We’ll have spaciousness for conversation and reflection. All participants will receive a copy of the book Tending Grief by Camille Sapara Barton.
We invite you to join us in this transformative work. People’s Clinics are more than just an event; they’re collective community spaces for rest, care, and reconnection.

“I hear people talk about joy meaning something like happiness, but the joy I’m talking about, the joy I’m reaching toward, is informed by the profound sorrow that we’re constantly in the midst of.” — Ross Gay, author (on finding hope and joy)
