The Wild Edge of Sorrow: A Women's Grief Circle

Hello! My name is Gabi and I want to welcome you here.
I am offering a 2 hour evening for those who identify as women (non-binary folk welcome) to gather ceremonially, for 10 people, pre-registration required. This will be a gently facilitated, trauma-aware space for women who wish to honour the grief and rage that can live in the body when innocence, safety, or trust have been taken. Together we will gather in candlelight for a structured, contained 2-hour circle.

This evening will be shaped by Francis Weller’s work in The Wild Edge of Sorrow, whose teachings on collective mourning and soul-tending inform how I hold circle. The focus is on embodied awareness, supported grief, and reclaiming a sense of inner wholeness and belonging.

If you are currently in acute distress, experiencing frequent flashbacks or dissociation, or are in the early stages of processing recent trauma, this space may not feel supportive enough on its own. You are welcome to reach out to me before booking if you would like to check whether this circle feels appropriate for you at this time.
