Community Grief &
Gratitude Project
An invitation to the Boulder community
A collective project to name, release, and see our grief.
Since 2020, we have held this space every winter for the Boulder community to presence things we are grieving alongside things we are grateful for -- often noticing the interconnectedness between these feelings.
Bring your grief and gratitude to this collective space from
December 26, 2023 to January 13th, 2024.

Details & Guidelines
Ribbons are provided at the bridge, and you are welcome to make your own ribbons from old sheets or other repurposed materials and bring them to the bridge. Art Parts is a great source for used ribbon. Ribbons should be about 3 feet long. Invite others in your community(s), including friends and family from outside Boulder, to join you.
If you want to create ribbons but can’t get to the bridge, please contact us and we can hang them for you. Email us at communitygriefandgratitude@gmail.com.
On January 13, 2024 we will remove the ribbons. Ribbons from the past three years have been woven into spirals which we hope to have displayed.
This invitation is a free offering to the community by the Grief & Gratitude Project.
