You do not have to grieve the right way here.

You do not have to be “better” by the end.

You do not have to carry it alone.

Please see below my grief community offerings.

Community Grief Gathering

Sunday, August 30
2:00–3:30 p.m. Pacific Time
Free to attend

Grief needs somewhere to go.

Join me for a free gathering created for anyone longing for a more honest, embodied, and communal way of being with grief.

This will not be a lecture about the stages of grief or a conversation centered on “moving on.” Together, we will make room for what is already here through gentle embodiment, guided reflection, meaningful conversation, and compassionate witness.

You will be invited to participate at the level that feels accessible to you. You may share, move, write, rest, listen, or simply allow yourself to be among people who understand that grief does not follow a predictable timeline.

During our time together, I will also introduce the upcoming eight-week Grief Circle for those who desire a smaller, more consistent community in which to continue this work.

Come exactly as you are—and bring whatever your grief looks like that day.

Grief was never meant to be carried alone.

An Eight-Week Embodied Grief Circle

Sundays, September 6–October 25
2:00–3:30 p.m. Pacific Time
Limited to 12 participants

Grief changes us—but too often, we are expected to carry that change privately.

This eight-week circle is an intimate community for people who want more than information about grief. It is a place to develop a relationship with your grief, explore how it is held in your body, and experience what becomes possible when it is met with presence rather than pressure.

Each gathering will include a brief educational offering, but education is not the heart of this experience. The heart is the circle itself: being present with what is true, practicing embodied ways of tending to grief, and allowing ourselves to be compassionately witnessed by people who are learning to do the same.

Our gatherings may include:

• Gentle movement and embodied awareness
• Breathwork and nervous-system support
• Guided reflection and journaling
• Ritual, remembrance, and meaning-making
• Space for silence, expression, and conversation
• Practices for living alongside grief
• Opportunities to witness and be witnessed
• The gradual creation of an intimate, connected community

This is not a space where you will be asked to perform your pain, share before you are ready, or follow a prescribed timeline. You are welcome to participate in the ways your body and capacity allow.

Why eight weeks?

Trust and connection take time.

The consistency of returning to the same circle allows us to move beyond the surface and create relationships that can hold honesty, tenderness, grief, laughter, anger, uncertainty, and even moments of joy.

Your commitment is a meaningful part of creating that safety. Participants are encouraged to attend all eight gatherings whenever possible. If you must miss a week, you will receive the recorded educational offering and guided practice. To protect everyone’s privacy, personal sharing and witnessing within the circle will not be recorded.

My hope is that this becomes more than a group you attend. I hope it becomes a community you can feel connected to—and, with mutual consent and care, one whose members may begin supporting one another beyond our scheduled gatherings.

My role

I am not positioning myself as an expert on your grief. No one knows your relationship, your loss, your body, or your grief better than you do.

I am a fellow griever and an experienced facilitator. My role is to thoughtfully create and guide a space where grief can be felt, expressed, embodied, explored, and witnessed without being rushed or repaired.

This circle is a peer-centered educational and embodied community experience. It is not psychotherapy, crisis care, or a replacement for individualized mental-health support.
