BUILDING A PLACE FOR PEOPLE OF THE GLOBAL MAJORITY TO BE TENDER AND TOUCH THEIR GRIEF

With the support of song, holders who are carnage-informed, and the earth, we are building earth domes of resistance, inviting the earth into our grief practice and life design — being supported by the earth in return.

Grief to Action is a semi-mobile network with a land-based sanctuary in the Mojave Desert of Southern California. The sanctuary is Black-led, centering African-heritage folks and all People of the Global Majority. We hold space for the deep grief and rage that gives birth to the creative solutions we need to resist oppressive systems.

We are building a physical place for rest — a hub for The Chronically UnderTouched (CUT) Project, through Holistic Resistance a network of humans who see each other’s full humanity — and programs to move through the historical and present systems that block us from closeness with each other, and with the earth.

Building Grief to Action
  • Silent Retreat 2026: Listening, Collective Grief and Liberation Practice

    October 22-25, 2026

    Hosted by Aaron Johnson & Grace Bryant

    Both People of the Global Majority and white-identified folks are invited to attend this 4-day weekend of silence. Sessions for moving the body, working with the breath, for witnessing the mind and practicing mindfulness, for acknowledging and moving through emotions, and for opening ourselves to our potential to witness the world around us and remain centered, connected, spacious and embodied.
