Grief Supper Society
Grief is too heavy for one person to hold.
Over the last 3 years, we have been producing collective healing spaces to honor Death and Grief through Death Over Dinner Parties. The size of these dinners has grown significantly with our last large public gathering having 50 people in attendance. Over time our team has had the pleasure of facilitating dinners for intimate groups of all ages, families, friends, retreats and private organizations.
Mourning Flow, through our Grief Supper Society banner will continue to host and facilitate Death Over Dinner Parties, Salon Gatherings and Workshops as a means to process grief within community, educate the public about End of Life readiness, and to pose thought-provoking questions that inspire necessary conversations with our loved ones. See below for upcoming events.
Grief Supper Society: A Death Over Dinner Honoring Parental Loss
June 14, 2024 | Studio DDLA Los Angeles, CA
As we approach the delicate corridor between Mother's and Father's Day, a time often marked by celebration and reflection, we recognize the profound sensitivity it holds for those experiencing the grief of parental loss.
Join us on Friday, June 14th at Studio DDLA for an intimate and supportive gathering focused on navigating the complex terrain of parental loss. Whether you're grappling with the passing of a parent figure or facing the anticipatory grief of knowing their time is limited, this gathering offers a brave space to explore and express your emotions alongside a community of people who are on a similar journey.
Through the unique format of a "Death Over Dinner," led by Death Doula Chanel Durley of Mourning Flow, we will come together over a shared meal to memorialize our loved ones. We'll honor the various aspects of grief, including the range of emotions that accompany loss and relationships. Guided by skilled facilitators, we'll provide gentle prompts to foster reflection, connection, and healing.
This dinner is for anyone experiencing anticipatory grief of, and parental loss in all its forms - mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles and all parental figure(s). You are welcome here. To keep this gathering accessible, we are offering a sliding scale price option with a suggested minimum of $15. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Seating is limited, please book your ticket below. To be an event or seat sponsor, please email hello@mourningflow.com.
Sponsorships & Donations.
Just like the Grief journey, we cannot do this community healing alone. Up to this point, community dinners have been self-funded by Chanel, but as the popularity and necessity of these communal spaces grow, the reality of its energetic imbalance is making itself known. For this reason, we are seeking the support of the greater community to continue to make these Dinners accessible to the public. If you would like to sponsor a dinner, or an attendee for current or future Dinners, please shoot us an email at hello@mourningflow.com. You can also donate at the link provided below.
