Part of The Gratitude Gathering. A chance to move, metabolize, verbalize, and materialize your memories. The act of vocalizing creates resonance for the bones - a healing balm in times of grief.

This event is part of The Gratitude Gathering. Registering for this event gives you access to all Gratitude Gathering events, Nov 20 - Dec 5.

Collective Remembrance Tapestry: Through journaling, movement and storytelling we will give voice to what is deep within our bones. To speak is to birth and materialize our inner wisdom. The reverberation of our stories and memories can heal what needs mending. It's a soothing balm for times of grief. Together, participants will weave a tapestry of words that will serve as affirmation, grief medicine, a wish for the future while connecting us with our ancestral roots.

She believes grief is a portal to wholeness. Through rituals and storytelling, we can reconnect to our origins and be our wild selves. She sees the path to being whole as a radical art and political practice.

Her work has spanned from working as birth doula, transplant ICU nurse, home health nurse and to an end of life nurse.

Roshni's early childhood was marked by the grief her mother and ancestors experienced by living on the margins based on gender and caste. Similarly in the United States, as a Nurse, Roshni witnessed racialized trauma and its lasting impact on the health and wellness of communities of color. Combining her interest in art, wellness and advocacy she has launched a startup, Cardamom and Kavate to reimagine what it means to rebirth ourselves, embody our freedom and live in our pleasure.
