Grief is an experience meant to be shared ..
we were never meant to be isolated in our most difficult times.
For centuries, our ancestors gathered in circles to grieve, to heal, and to find strength in one another. In these circles, we step back into a time when grieving was a communal journey.
Grief has never been private; it has always been communal. Subconsciously, we are awaiting the presence of others, before we can feel safe enough to drop to our knees on the holy ground of sorrow.”
― Francis Weller, The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief
Find a Circle
Grief can be deeply personal, but it was never meant to be carried entirely on our own.
Grief Circles offer a place to gather with others who understand something of what it means to live with loss. To be witnessed, to listen, to reflect, and to tend what you are carrying without needing to fix it, explain it, or move beyond it.
These circles are gently facilitated and include conversation, reflection, simple grief-tending practices, breath and movement, ritual, or moments of quiet. You are always invited to participate in the way that feels right for you.Whether your loss is recent or has been part of your life for many years, you are welcome here.
Virtual Grief Circle FAQs
“Grief is not a problem to be solved but a process to be lived through with consciousness and compassion.”
Jack Kornfield - A Path with Heart: A Guide Through the Perils and Promises of Spiritual Life
What is a virtual grief circle? A virtual grief circle is an online group designed to provide a sacred, supportive space where individuals can explore their grief. You will connect with others who are also navigating loss and share stories and experiences in a supportive and nurturing environment.
When can I join? The virtual grief circles run seasonally, so you are able to join at the beginning of each season.
Are these grief circles religious? No, these circles are not affiliated with any specific religion. They are open to participants from all backgrounds.
Do I have to be seen on camera? Being seen helps build trust and connection in our intimate group, creating a safe space where everyone feels valued, so when it feels okay to do so it would be nice for you to be on camera. Your comfort is important to me, and there may be times when it just doesn't feel right to be seen on camera. We will meet you where you are at.
Is this circle a form of therapy? While the virtual grief circles offer a deeply supportive and healing environment, it is not a substitute for therapy or professional mental health care. It is designed as a peer support group with a focus on community, connection, and holistic grief practices.
What is the time commitment? You can attend as many sessions or as few as you want. *note that you pay for all six circles. There are no refunds for missed circles.
Who can join these virtual grief circles? Anyone who has experienced a significant loss and is ready to explore their grief in a holistic, supportive community is welcome to join. These circles are suitable for those who are comfortable sharing in a group setting and are open to engaging with practices that support healing on all levels—mind, body, and spirit.
What happens when I join? When you sign up for an upcoming grief circle, you will receive a welcome email with all of the information you need to begin.
What if I miss a session? Each session is recorded and made available to participants, so if you need to miss a circle, you can watch the replay at your convenience. This ensures that you can stay connected to the circle even if you’re unable to attend a session live. Note that you will pay for all twelve circles, and there are no refunds for missed circles.
Do you provide refunds? It depends on when you cancel. Your fee will be refunded to you in full if you decide to cancel before the first day of the circle. After we begin, however, there will be no refunds.
What should I prepare for the sessions? The best thing you can do to prepare is to find a quiet, private space to join the circle from. It may also be helpful to have a journal, a candle, or other items that help you create a sacred space at home, but otherwise come as you are! Jammies welcome. :)
