Opening to the Medicine of GRIEF
Grief is innately alchemizing. The work of grief is to surrender to all that grief asks of us, to be fully present with a reality we did not want or ask for. We do this by learning to open to the raw energies of grief and the liminal space. Grief support allows you to be transformed while honoring who/what you have loved and lost.
Engaging with DEATH and Aliveness
Death is an inevitable aspect of life. It can bring incredible grief and loss, and it offers a chance to meet life more openly—with love and aliveness. Death doula support can help you navigate the practical needs of end-of-life while creating space to receive its deeper grace.

Meet Mikyö
Mikyö Black-Wangmo lives their life in devotion to holding and tending grief medicine as a pathway to freedom and Essence.
As a facilitator, educator, death doula, and somatic practitioner, Mikyö brings deeply cultivated presence in service to the empowerment of those they work with. They are a student of the Elements and Natural world, their indigenous mexican and more-than-human Ancestors, of Grief and Death, and of their esoteric teachers and lineages.
Their positionality as a queer, 2 spirit, indigenous PoC, transracial adoptee allows them the privilege to exist and work outside of and beyond the systems of oppression we all live in and are affected by. Mikyö is dedicated to becoming more and more joyfully alive and free in service to love and life, and in supporting others to do the same.

Tending the River: Community Grief Ritual
Sept. 12th - 14th @ Taos Satva
Friday 5pm - 9pm, Saturday 9am to 5pm, Sunday 9am - 6pm
In many indigenous cultures around the world grief and joy exist on a continuum. In our grief lies the key to opening to the joyful celebration of life. And in our joyful celebration of life we cultivate the capacity to truly grieve in a way that brings us home to our inborn sense of wholeness and peace.
Come to the community grief ritual and join us as we recover our inherent resiliency, capacity for joy, and freedom of being fully alive!
