VIRTUAL GRIEF CIRCLE
What Is A Grief Circle?
Since people have been on this earth, they have gathered in circles. Our ancestors sat with a fire at the center, and the crackle of logs, the scent of smoke. People all over the world and throughout time gathered to find warmth, tell stories, sing songs and speak from the heart. From fires in fields, to a chairs in a room, to faces on a screen, sharing our story with others is a universally human and healing ritual. Grief circles give us the opportunity to share our journey of loss.

Who Is It For?
If you've experienced loss and you're grieving, you have a place in the circle. It doesn't matter what kind of loss - the death of a loved one, the end of any relationship, the end of job or retirement, the anticipatory loss of an aging parent or terminal illness, unfulfilled dreams. It doesn't matter when your loss occurred or where you are on your grief journey. All losses and the feelings that arise from them are valid. All grief needs to be shared.

What To Expect.
Our Virtual Grief Circle will take place on Zoom so you can attend from anywhere in the world. We'll start with a breath-based embodiment practice. Then we'll go around the "circle" giving each participant an opportunity to respond to a series of prompts. To ensure everyone has a chance to share responses may be timed. Feel free to pass on any prompt. Sharing may be in words, song, art, tears, or silence.
