title: Grief Tending Council
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A council practice for tending collective grief — clearing the emotional
|
|
weight that can impair a community's capacity to govern and act. Drawing
|
|
on Indigenous council traditions and contemporary grief work, the
|
|
practice creates a dedicated space for grief before returning to
|
|
decision-making.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Set the intention
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The facilitator names the purpose: to create space for grief that
|
|
the community is carrying, so that it does not block clear
|
|
thinking and action.
|
|
- headline: Open the circle
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The circle opens with a moment of silence or brief words
|
|
acknowledging what has been lost.
|
|
- headline: Share in rounds
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A talking piece is passed. Each person may share what grief they
|
|
carry — personal or communal. No response, advice, or cross-talk.
|
|
- headline: Witness without fixing
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The circle holds each person's grief without attempting to resolve
|
|
or comfort it away. Silence is welcome.
|
|
- headline: Transition to purpose
|
|
description: >-
|
|
After grief has been given its space, the facilitator gently
|
|
transitions the circle back to the matter at hand, naming that
|
|
the community now carries both its grief and its capacity to act.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
The community has acknowledged its grief in a held space, freeing
|
|
capacity for clearer deliberation and action.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Do not rush this. Grief does not follow an agenda. If someone weeps,
|
|
let them. The facilitator's role is to hold the space, not to fill
|
|
it.
