Grief & Grace: Loss, Longing, and Belonging (7 Week Event Series)

Beneath the heartbreak lives longing: for meaning, for connection, for belonging.
Grief & Grace is a seven-week collective journey inviting participants to meet both the light and the dark that move among us—together.

This registration covers the full series of seven sessions. You do not need to register for each week separately.

This series offers a compassionate, village-like space to witness, be witnessed, and engage with tenderness and respect—to shift from isolation to connection, from numbness to aliveness, from despair to meaning.

Each weekly gathering weaves together guided, structured practices of soulful attunement, dialogue, reflective writing, storytelling, poetry, music, ritual, and shared presence. Participants honor both visible and invisible losses—of loved ones, safety, homeland, identity, hope, and future. We listen with the body, breathe with the heart, and allow what has been held too long to be held by many.
