In The Wild Edge of Sorrow, author Fancis Weller introduces the "5 Gates of Grief" all humans must walk through: an examination of how loss shows up in all of our lives. In this multidisciplinary, immersive experience, The Threshold Collective host 5 different artists, each of whom will explore a different gate through music, sound, performance and visual art. 

The event will begin at 4pm on Sunday, April 28th: guests will gather for an opening ritual and invocation, led by poet, grief coach and death doula Naila Francis and her collaborators at Salt Trails.

Following the opening, guests continue into the MAAS Building to explore the 5 Gates of Grief, where the artist at each gate has created a unique participatory experience to deepen guests’ understanding of the gate and the wisdom available from that vantage point. There will be a variety of delicious bites and drinks available for sale, and a bonfire to warm guests body & soul.

In the following two days, the experience will be open to visitors from 4pm - 7pm.
