gyenjaimma khaon: Grieving Remains

Grieving Remains is a BIPOC-only gathering where we prepare talbinah—a barley porridge once offered to the grieving, as narrated in Muslim hadith.

Cooked with milk and honey, talbinah was said by the Prophet ﷺ to “soothe the heart of the sick and cleanse some of sorrow.” Together, we’ll make it as a way to tend to layered grief—of death, violence, exile, language, and interrupted lineages.

There is no expectation to share or explain. You may eat, or simply be present. This is a space to sit with grief—both named and unspoken.

 

We kindly ask you to register via info@vbkoe.org by June 27. The event is BIPOC-only.
