A Note of Welcome
Our gatherings honor all forms of grief including from losses, change and transitions, childhood wounds, sorrows for our world (environmental, political, racial, cultural loss), loss of village and belonging, ancestral grief, and anything else present. There is no grief too big or too small for our circles.

For Healers & Facilitators:
Facilitator Consult Circle – Online
This group is ideal for grief tenders who are already facilitating grief rituals or preparing to step into a facilitation role. It’s an opportunity for fellow grief tenders to share learnings, seek collaboration, bring questions and discussion topics, and offer support to one another. It is also a space to build a supportive peer community — because we can’t do this work alone.
Date: Wednesday, May 14
Time: 4:00 – 5:30pm PT
Facilitator Consult Circle – Online
This group is ideal for grief tenders who are facilitating regularly or who have led at least one grief ritual in the past six months. It’s an opportunity for fellow grief tenders to share learnings, seek collaboration, bring questions and discussion topics, and offer support to one another — because we can’t do this work alone.
Date: Friday, June 27
Time: Noon – 1:30pm PT

Grief Tending Practice Circle – Online
For those who have been learning about grief tending and are ready to take the next step towards grief ritual facilitation, this circle offers a supportive “practicum” space to integrate and apply your learnings with peers in a community ritual setting.
