Gathering of Grief
On November 28th, the Reimagine community gathered to mourn all that is disconnected from love and find some healing against the backdrop of current global crises.
A Collective Cento Poem: "Grief is..."
A cento is a work of poetry composed of various lines taken from different poems. The word “cento” is derived from a Latin word meaning “patchwork garment.” The lines of this poem were culled from MadLib-style poems contributed by 50+ incredible grief leaders and compiled by Reimagine. It was debuted by the co-creators at the "Gathering of Grief."
