GRIEF TIES is a moment for community members to mark this moment in our lives. We are all navigating through an intense time and have all lost something or someone over the last two years. Many of us weren’t able to join the circles of community caring and sharing that are necessary for moving through loss in healthy ways. Marking Grief will attempt to offer community members a space to reflect, send love and mark this moment.
