Grief tending is part of a larger tapestry of collective healing which is in service to the liberation of all. To partake in this programme it’s important that you have begun to do some inner work around diversity, inclusion and systems of oppression. If this is new to you please share and I can offer some resources for you to explore before the course begins.

Can you share about your understanding of your own social identity and privileges? What anti-oppression education or healing have you participated in?
