​

Dear Reader,

Thank you for signing up for the upcoming Grief Awareness Day Circle on August 30th! I am truly honored to share this time with you.

Grief Awareness Day invites us to pause and acknowledge what is often invisible in our culture: the sorrows we carry, the stories we hold, and the truth that grief is not something to “get over,” but something to move through and simply "be with".

In this free circle, we will be exploring ways of reconnecting - of coming back to a place of belonging with nature, with our true human nature, and with one another in sacred community. It might sound a little strange to approach grief in this way, but this approach is reflective of my program, Befriending Grief, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Together, we will tend to grief through reflection, gentle mindfulness practices, and shared witnessing. My hope is that you leave feeling connected and reminded that you are not alone on this sacred journey.

Creating your Sacred Space

I recommend that you create a sacred space within your home if you’re able to (even if it’s in bed!). Have a candle and journal/paper handy for reflection, as well as any other special mementos like photos and special items of your loved ones - anything that makes you feel connected to that which you have lost.

Wear your cozies and bring your open heart for an evening of meditation, reflection, and connection as we explore the grief journey through a sacred lens of reconnection.

I look forward to being with you on this special day. Together, we’ll remember that grief, when honored, can guide us back into a deeper connection with life and with each other.

Reader, if you feel comfortable sharing a little bit of your grief story with me, I would be honored to know what brings you to this grief circle - simply reply to this email, and we can get to know one another.

In the meantime, I am grateful that you've chosen to care for yourself and I will send a few more reminders and details as we get closer to the 30th.

Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
