This 75 minute circle is a space to explore and witness the universal experience of grief and loss. This is a time to be in community, to connect with yourself and one another while holding space for all that life brings: change, loss, transition, grief, and gratitude. The circle will include a short teaching, a guided meditation, journaling and reflection time, optional group sharing time, and a closing practice.
Grief and loss of any kind are welcome and honored here including deaths of people or pets, the impact of trauma, job loss, health changes, pregnancy loss or infertility, collective grief, and many more.
