This event has passed, but you can still register to watch the recording.

In this workshop, we will explore working with the element of water as an ally for grief support, and the craft of flower essences as a part of a broader ancient cross cultural practice of infusing waters with blessings, energy, spells, payers, intention, songs, and memory.

Participants will learn methods for infusing waters with memories and stories of our beloved dead (with and without working with flowers) and explore ways to work with these sacred memorial waters to connect with our loved ones, find comfort in the moments we shared with them, and call upon their magic when we need it most.

During the workshop, participants will be invited to craft their own memorial essences celebrating their beloved dead, using creative writing prompts and guided visualization to recall their favorite memories, qualities, gifts, and stories of their loved ones.

What to bring:

• A journal + pen

• A candle

• A scarf, blanket, tray, surface etc you'd like to use as the base of your altar

• Any meaningful objects that are connected to fond memories of your loved one (these can be visual, scents, textures, songs, photographs)

• An offering of some kind for your beloved (something that was their favorite, a song, flowers, a food, a candy, a drink, a poem, an inside joke, anything) & an offering to the water

• Flowers if you’d like to work with them as well

• A special bowl or cup

• A small pitcher or bottle of water

• Brandy or another alcohol to preserve the essence (or vinegar or glycerin)

• A jar or bottle with a cap for storing your memorial essence
