guiding ourselves through Grief
a seasonal discourse with nature
with Juliet McGraw & ridhi d’cruz
why Grief & why now? From the global to the personal, from climate chaos to loss & sickness, Grief touches each and every one of us in a variety of ways. Despite the universality of this experience, we create very few spaces and times to touch into our Grief in ways that support our healing journeys. An inevitable teacher, Grief often communicates something is missing from us. Join us for a discourse of loss within nature and finding healing connections to Grief within ourselves.
ABOUT YOUR FACILITATORS
Juliet McGraw
Juliet McGraw (she/her) has long been drawn to connecting ideas, people, and organizations. Raised in both Washington and Texas, Juliet is intimately familiar with finding commonality in seemingly disparate lifeways. Moving between the natural and built environment, urban Indigenous lifeways and dominant culture, she finds her energy is most useful in liminal spaces. Aware that serving on the Chinook Indian Nation’s Canoe Family is a profound privilege, Juliet works to honor this relationship by applying Indigenous ethnobotany to landback initiatives in the PNW.
ridhi d’cruz (they/them) is a gender wild, neurospicy, caste non-dominant Malayali who grew up in the city of Bangalore in southern India, and, in 2010, moved to the unceded lands of the Chinook people (Portland, USA) to pursue a graduate program in sociocultural and applied anthropology. Trained as a journalist, anthropologist, and culture worker, they fondly identify as a learner, facilitator and artist. They root their life artistry in the intersections of place, healing, design and creative justices. They have dedicated over a decade of their life to cultivate liberatory processes, projects, and places that nourish people’s belonging to themselves, to Land, and to each other.
