Upcoming Grief Circles

grief circles

Gently held intimate gatherings for anyone learning to live around loss. It’s a safe container to process what life has taken, altered, or unraveled.

We don't ask you to tidy up your pain or arrive with the right words. In our circles, you can speak your truth, weep freely, or simply let the quiet support of the room wash over you.

Our time together weaves gentle reflection, warm conversation, grounding somatic rituals, and quiet stillness to help your nervous system settle.

Grief isn't just about death—we welcome those walking through divorce, pet loss, major life transitions, or old wounds left unsaid. All of your story is welcome here.

Come sit with us. We'd be honoured to hold space for you.

About this circle

Losing a parent (or parental figure) to a long or terminal illness is a complex journey. We mourn who they were, we grieve through their decline, and then we are left to rebuild our world without one of our primary anchors.

Created in remembrance of our mom who died from pancreatic cancer, this intimate gathering offers a safe space for those who have lost a parent or parental figure following a long or terminal illness.

Come as you are. We will honour their memory, reflect, share our journey and find comfort alongside others who truly understand.

What to expect

Held in a quiet, warmly lit space for just 3 to 5 guests, our 90 -minute gathering is designed as a gentle landing pad.
Settle in with hot tea and space to ground yourself before we begin.
Gentle, open prompts to help put heavy thoughts and unspoken feelings onto paper.
Optional Sharing: Share a story, read what you wrote, or simply listen. Silence is fully honored here.
Soft Landing Ritual: We'll close our time with 5-10 minutes of gentle breathwork and EFT tapping to help release physical tension, lower nervous system anxiety, and ground your body before stepping back into the world.

You may wish to bring a photograph or small object that reminds you of your parent, but this is entirely optional.

Register for your spot below. We will contact you after registration to confirm your place and share the full session details.

Nothing here feels right for you?

We host intimate circles for different seasons of loss—including bereavement, divorce, pet loss, or a quiet season of life transition.

Share what kind of support you need right now, and we’ll notify you first when seats open for that circle.
