We live in a culture that suppresses our ability to truly feel our grief-deeply, safely, and on our own terms. But each persons experience is as unique as the grief itself.

Herbal medicines and plant-based healing


Sapara Barton honors each and every experience- The loss of displacement from homelands, from severed lineages and ancestral ways of knowing. The grief of colonization and theft. The deep heaviness that burrows into our bodies when society tells us our bodies are wrong. Practical tools and rituals help readers feel into their grief, honor what comes up, and move forward in healing.

Written specifically to center and hold the grief of BIPOC readers, Tending Grief is an invitation to reconnect to what weve lost, to find community in our grief, and to tend to our own suffering for our individual and collective wellbeing.
