Francis Weller, MFT, is a psychotherapist, writer and soul activist. He synthesizes psychology, anthropology, mythology, alchemy, indigenous cultures and poetic traditions, and has introduced the healing work of grieving and ritual to thousands of people around the world. He is the author of several books including one of my all time favorites, The Wild Edge of Sorrow. Our conversation explores the many forms and facets of grief, and the importance of ritual and community in healing our world both internally and externally.
