Ritual Facilitation
raya marie hazell (she/they) is the daughter of stars. She is an artist and grief doula from the lands and waters of the Muscogee (Atlanta, GA). She lives and works between New York and Atlanta.
Collective Grief Alchemy
Central to Raya's practice is a belief in the transformative power of collective mourning. In a time of compounding crises, she offers grief as a political framework for understanding the roots of violence and seeding new worlds. In their grief doula practice, they facilitate grief rituals as playful, somatic containers for alchemizing loss and choreographing alternative relations. As a Black daughter of multiple diasporas, she feels compelled to investigate how making new ritual can allow for a re-connection to place and collectivity within Black & diasporic communities.
Starting points:
* Aqua Alchemy — Interactive ritual guide for a water-based grief release ritual.
* Documentation of past collective grief experiences
