Únashay

Building sanctuary for unmet grief.
𐌔 Presence and land-based care for the grieving.

Únashay is a physical grief sanctuary that supports people through loss and change. It is an exploration of shapeshifting, relationship, and presencing support for what is most unmet in ourselves, communities and land. As such, we are building a physical grief sanctuary on Tewá land in Abiquiu, New Mexico where an interspecies web of connected liminal workers, grief bearers, deep listeners, animals, artists, body workers, musicians, plants, movers, and the spaces needed for such meeting can be brought as an offering to the grieving and land.

Tonight in Santa Fe, 6-8pm 🔥

Join us for our next Noria Grief Café
(address below).

Supported by our volunteer grief Companions 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘔𝘤𝘊𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯 and 𝘑𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘺.

"As the plumes of gold go up around us and the trees begin to let go of their leaves.. we too are drawn down into the earth, pulled toward the inward time of the year. In this season of dying, what are you letting go of? What calls to be scattered on the compost heap?

Join us for a Noria Grief Cafe to honor this season of transition by acknowledging what has nourished us and what is asking to be released."

Please spread the invitation(!) and arrive 10 mins early for parking and ample time to settle. Free and welcoming of donations.

Address:: 412 Camino Cabra. Parking in neighborhood. 🖤🌿

DATE CHANGE::
Noria Grief Cafe - Taos
April 12th 4-6pm
Optional potluck at 6pm

Where is grief trying to crack us open, like a seed bursting towards the warmth of the sun? What has been buried in us that wants to be released?

This Noria explores our relationship with grief as a force of life and what becomes possible when we stop resisting it. Together we will give grief the space to be. We will explore through movement and story, using curiosity to welcome what we have been unable to feel on our own. And we will have space to share our tender hearts with one another, to be known and loved.

Mikyö Black-Wangmo (they/them) is a devotee of the Great Mystery, reclaiming indigeneity, the esoteric arts, and of the wisdom of the body. They are based in, and in love with, the Red Willow lands of Northern New Mexico, otherwise known as Taos.

They are committed to the evolution of grieving and dying as a communal path to joy, freedom, and aliveness. That currently comes into form through facilitating grief rituals, embodied grief trainings, and retreats, individual grief support, rituals to connect with the lands, elements, and ancestors, and multiple modalities of body and energy work.

You can learn more about their offerings through Subrosa Santo at www.SubrosaSanto.com

They are also offering a Community Grief Ritual, Resting with the Cracks, in Taos, April 17th-19th. Link in their bio Mikyö Black-Wangmo
