SUMMARY:Write Your Grief
DESCRIPTION:Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death\, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space\, with the purpose of building connection\, skill\, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities.  \n\n\n\nParticipants will be led through a short meditation/reiki offering to ground and center in the space\, followed by some intentional and prompted writing time\, where we’ll pick a source of grief\, or grief itself\, and write letters. There will be optional time for sharing about the experience itself or what you’ve written and some additional prompts for continued writing practice. Participants are also invited to submit completed letters to a queer grief zine for publication.  \n\n\n\nFacilitator Melissa Delizia\, MSW\, LSW\, DSW (she/they) is a writer\, witch\, social worker\, educator\, death doula\, and Reiki Master Teacher whose work lives at the intersection of sacred care\, social justice\, and transformative education. Their practice centers queer and transgender experiences of death\, dying\, grief\, and ritual\, with a deep commitment to equitable\, accessible\, and community-rooted death care.  \n\n\n\nQueer Death Salon takes place over Zoom\, in English\, with Automatic Closed Captioning
