Introducing a monthly series at WAKE, where gatherings unfold around a shared inquiry. This November, we’re exploring the relationship between having and losing, emptiness and possibility, grief and reverence.
In the philosophy of Chinese medicine, autumn belongs to the Metal element. A season of discernment, of recognizing what is precious, and honoring what has been while making room for what is yet to come.

The inquiry unfolds through three chapters :::
I. On Grief & Reverence — what we honor
II. The Nature of Impermanence — what we release
III. The Necessity of Emptiness — what we make room for
Eleven offerings, three inquiries. Many ways into the conversation. Explore our monthly gatherings + reserve your space through the link in bio.
