This Year in Grief, Next Year in Hope
Featuring a diverse roster of luminaries in grief, spirituality, creativity, and personal development, this gathering provides a space to reflect on what we've been grieving this year – personally and/or collectively – and to name what we’re yearning and dreaming about for 2026. The 90-minute program consists of music, the building of an altar, candle lighting and extinguishing rituals, and a moment to invite the public to acknowledge losses. That includes individuals who have died, places and environments ravaged by war and the climate crisis, and the erosion of institutions and belief systems that we hold dear. We will also hold space for the flickers of hope and renewal in 2026.
Adding the "AND" of Grief During the Holidays
In this workshop, we will explore the "and" of grief. Loss can be here, along with glimmers of contentment, loneliness can exist right next to companionship, & absence can invite presence.
Grief & the Holidays Workshop
The holiday season can be difficult when you are grieving. Traditional celebrations may feel overwhelming, and sometimes even the thought of making it through the “cheerful” holiday season seems impossible. No matter what you celebrate, it’s important to know that you aren’t alone, and you can survive the holiday season in a way that allows you to be comfortable and to honor your grief and remember your loved one in ways that are helpful to you. This virtual workshop is a way to get some support and helpful tips when grieving around the holiday season. We will discuss coping with emotions, how to handle triggering traditions, and ways to navigate social and familial events. Anyone anywhere can join!

Find Joy In Grief : The Healing Power of Grief
As someone intimately acquainted with the place of Grief in my life I invite you to work with me to find the key to regaining peace, purpose and, yes, even JOY after loss. Not sure how? Let's talk! This workshop is an introduction to the way we are created to process Grief as a natural, sacred part of life. Just me and you, friends. You can come anonymously if you wish or you can be prepared to volunteer to work through one of your feelings around your Grief experience. You may also be surprised at how watching others can help you with your own situation. Grief may be as "unique as a fingerprint" (David Keller in "On Grief and Grieving") but the way through it is the same for all of us.
