You’re invited to join a co-created grief support circle to explore, express and be in community around grief. We experience so many waves of grief (big and small) throughout our lives and we long to create an in-person and online space to express this grief openly and freely.
We live in a culture that teaches us to hide our grief and sorrow. The hidden message we receive is that our grief isn't welcome in community spaces or even in our most intimate relationships. It can feel radical to gather in community to explore grief’s edges, yet many have a longing to not do it alone.
This stirs the inquiry:
✨How do we tend to our grief?
✨What does tending grief even mean or look like?
This 12-week container (meeting for 6 sessions within the 12 weeks) was intentionally designed for those who are unfamiliar with turning toward their own grief in more creative ways and/or in community. There are ancient, more connected ways to be with our grief than what we were taught. In this series we will gather to discuss and explore simple and gentle ways to be with
our personal and collective grief.
In our culture it’s common to think this may not apply to you if you haven’t experienced a close death or had a major life transition (divorce, move, job loss, etc) but we will expand on honoring the places grief regularly arises . . .
💔Grief related to family and friend dynamics (recent or past)
💔Grief that arises around certain holidays or anniversaries
💔Pandemic grief
💔Collective grief
💔Ancestral grief
💔Grief that you can’t name but is deeply felt
If you’re noticing curiosity arise or a stirring inside that you recognize as resonance, we invite you to join us.
When we gather and share our unfiltered life stories, we start to create new ways to be in community. Often we realize how similar our stories are and recognize that we aren’t as alone in this world as we thought or felt. This is a place to see each other and be seen, to be heard and held in your truth.
TESTIMONIAL: "I was very nervous to join this series. I had no experience sitting in circles and sharing deep emotions in a group setting. Jen and Micaela did a wonderful job at creating a container and offering us teachings to be with heavy feelings; both our own and others. Learning to make space for these emotions that our culture frequently shuns and allowing others to witness me in those emotions has lightened my spirit and helped me to feel closer to myself and others. I feel immense gratitude for the things I learned during these sessions and I view this series as foundational knowledge for future grief work. I can't recommend this enough!" - Danielle S.
