The Wounded Angel's Network - Peter Woods

St Paul wrote,”We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labour pains until now..” Romans 8:22

What he didn’t know was how much additional pain we humans would cause to this planet since he penned that line!

In this talk we explore our grieving, “The Sorrow of the World” and how this grief can become a resurrection for us and the planet.

ollowing the outline of Francis Weller’s “Five Gates of Grief” this video invites us to locate and mourn the parts of our lives that never knew love.

This is sacred and soulful work. As we examine the deficits and voids in our selves, as we see where our lives were Bonzai-ed by circumstances or the unskilful acts of others.

Now we can begin to allow the light to enter us through those very cracks and fissures.

The video also introduces the Japanese art of Kintsugi as a metaphor for the integration of our loss.

Using the headings of Francis Weller as an outline, Peter explores the first of what Weller describes as the “Gates of Grief“.

Gate 1:Everything you love you will lose.

Gate 2:The places that have not known love

Gate 3:The Sorrows of the World

Gate 4:What we expected but didn’t receive

Gate 5:Integrating our Ancestral Grief

Knowing the impermanence of everything is not as depressing as it sounds.

If skillfully integrated into our understanding, knowing that

“Everything we love, we will lose“, is a liberation to love and live in the moment that is with us now.
