Thriving Through the Holidays: Finding Peace Amid Grief, Blues, and Difficulty

Come join us for an in-person event at The Gathering Spot LA where we will explore ways to find peace and thrive during the holiday season, even when faced with grief, blues, or difficulty. This event will provide a safe space for open discussions, practical tips, and support from others going through similar experiences. Let's navigate the holidays together and discover ways to find joy and peace amidst challenges. Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect and grow!

A Grandma Fresh Wellness Experience — Real Talk. Fresh Wisdom. Real Solutions.

The holidays can be a beautiful time of year — but for many, they also bring feelings of grief, exhaustion, loneliness, and the pressure to “hold it all together.”

Join Dr. Shamara L. McFarland, JD, MAFP (“Grandma Fresh”) for an intimate wellness experience designed to help you slow down, release, and reset before the holiday season.

This restorative circle blends trauma-informed reflection, emotional intelligence practices, and spiritual grounding to help you navigate grief, family dynamics, and emotional fatigue with more clarity, compassion, and peace.
