Learning to Tend Grief (In-person)

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?

How is it helpful to me?

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

 Grief that you can’t name but is deeply felt

 Pandemic grief

 Collective grief

 Ancestral grief

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.
