Room to Grieve - Grief Circle
Register for an upcoming Circle at SALUD in Portland, Maine:
Tuesday, November 10th, 6-7:30pm
Tuesday, December 8th, 6-7:30pm
We gather to be with our grief. Not to fix it, or to end it, or somehow speed up the processing of it, as if it can be processed in some linear way. Not to lessen its impact. But to meet our grief in such a way that we are able to truly honor it, in all of its potent, painful, and complicated beauty.
During our time together, we’ll spend time practicing presence and curiosity, gently inviting ourselves to play with the energy of grief, which tends to get shoved aside, stuffed down, or asked to wait for a more convenient time.
Through guided visualization and mindfulness practices, somatic movement, writing exercises, and other forms of reflection, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with your own unique experience of grief and briefly share (if you'd like!) with the group.
We’ll laugh, move, and explore together, creating space for honoring grief - along with any other emotions that make an appearance - without any obligation to fix or even understand it. This time is intended to be restorative and connective, allowing your own inner experience some room to breathe within a supportive container, so that you can leave feeling lighter, less contracted, and with a little more capacity. You’ll also leave with tools for consciously navigating grief in the context of your day-to-day life.
All sharing and practices are optional. This is a come-as-you-are space where you are encouraged to meet your own needs in the way that is most aligned for you. This circle is skillfully and lovingly facilitated with the intention of creating a safe, sacred space for all.
All are welcome, whether you've experienced a "significant" loss or not.
Please dress comfortably and bring a notebook and something to write with.

Grief Talks
Ask me anything! Bringing insights from nearly a decade supporting clients through beginnings and endings of all kinds, as well as my personal experience with parent loss, caregiving, widowhood and parenting a grieving teenager - not to mention the grief that comes with simply living as a human on this planet - I’ll use questions from attendees to shape these talks filled with candidness, humor, compassion and practical tips for being present with grief and loss - your own or someone else’s.
Whether you are personally navigating a time of grief and loss, supporting someone who is, or generally wanting to become more grief literate, this is for you. Bring your curiosity and your questions, and peek behind the curtain while I share stories and insights on living with loss, parenting through grief, finding humor and joy in dark times, and relating to ourselves and each other when grief is present.
Asking questions is completely optional. You’ll have an opportunity to submit questions confidentially ahead of time, and there will be limited time for asking questions at the event. Feel free to come and just listen, or join in the conversation. This is a come-as-you-are space. Sessions are unrecorded as they are intended to be a live experience in which personal questions and details may be shared.
Each Grief Talk will be a unique experience based on which questions and topics feel most alive for the group, so feel free to come once or join them all.
Pay what feels best. Options for $15, $20 and $25. If cost is prohibitive, please reach out!
