Join us for a healing Sunday Salon with therapist and grief work facilitator Joshua Lowe.
As we enter summer it feels good to lighten our spirits by releasing the weight of grief that many of us carry for ourselves and for the world.
This Sunday Grief Salon is a gentle intro to working with the ”5 gates of Grief” discussed in Francis Weller’s book “The Wild Edge of Sorrow”.
After a cleansing sauna and cold plunge (optional) and light brunch we will sit in circle and work with the sacred emotion of grief.
Northern CA based grief facilitator and therapist Joshua Lowe will be leading us through the 5 Gates:
First Gate: Everything we love we will lose.
Personal loss of loved ones, relationships, careers, loss of health. Here we are initiated into the medicine of vulnerability.
Second Gate: The Places that have not known love.
Parts of us that have been shamed, not allowed, or harshly judged. Here we are initiated into the medicine of compassion.
Third Gate: The Sorrows of the World.
Climate change, poverty, war and the collective pain of humanity.
Here we are initiated into the medicine of entanglement.
Fourth Gate: What you expected and did not receive.
Things we don’t realize we’ve lost, because we weren’t born into a village with full joyous welcome of our gifts.
Here we are initiated into the medicine of belonging.
Fifth Gate: Ancestral Grief
Unacknowledged and untended sorrow of those who came before us.Here we are initiated into the medicine of wisdom.

Ryan Stevenson’s music, known for its hopeful and encouraging messages, has achieved six #1 billboard charting radio singles. He has toured with top artists such as TobyMac, MercyMe, and Newsboys. Since 2020, Stevenson has headlined intimate concerts in churches, theaters, and homes, playing over 170 shows to 34,000 fans, while sharing his deeply personal songs and stories. Recently, Ryan released his new single, “Just as You Are,” turning heads with its undeniably infectious groove. Released on Friday, the single finds Stevenson entering a new era of creative freedom.
Produced by Christopher Stevens (TobyMac, Crowder), who also co-wrote the song with Stevenson, “Just as You Are” captures a defining moment in Stevenson’s faith journey. Stevenson shared the inspiration behind the song, quoting one of his favorite authors, Brennan Manning: “God loves you, just as you are, not as you should be; because none of us are as we should be.” Stevenson added, “This is the music I’ve wanted to put out for 12 years, and I finally feel the release to do it! Creating music that not only has an amazing feel but also a deep, meaningful message is a joy.” In addition to his musical achievements, Ryan is an author. His book, “Eye of the Storm: Experiencing God When You Can’t See Him,” details his journey from farm boy to singer-songwriter, sharing life events that have shaped his relationship with God.
