Join us as we lean into community and into our personal relationships with grief.

There is certain medicine that can only be accessed by being together in and with our grief, yet there are so few places to do this well or to do this in ways that feel safe and accepted.

Whether you are actively grieving a recent loss or you carry sorrow from a loss experienced 20 years ago, join us. Whether you are grieving a physical death, the loss of a job, the end of a relationship, the movement through life thresholds, the end of a dream, changes in physical health, deaths of old and limiting constructs, the process of aging, the state of the environment, collective trauma, ancestral grief (the list goes on), join us.

This grief circle is experiential, it is not a CLASS about grief. This gathering is a place to come and set down some of the heaviness you are carrying into the loving and compassionate arms of your community. It's a time to go inwards while allowing yourself to be seen and held by compassionate witnesses. It's a time to intimately know what we are holding, growing through, hurting in, and exploring as a community.

You can come to listen or to share, to witness or to express.

This is a donation-based event and exchanges are deeply appreciated. If finances are not a viable form of exchange, testimonials, and trades are gratefully welcomed.

This circle is held at Awakenings Wellness, 1016 SE 12th Ave, Portland, OR 97214. Please come in the side door to the left of the building and up the ramp.
