Virtual Grief-Tending Circle: Navigating Grief in a Culture of "Moving On"
In a world that often rushes us toward closure, healing can feel like a race to the finish line instead of a life experience to be integrated. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, yet societal expectations can leave us feeling isolated, misunderstood, or pressured to “move on,” all of which add to the suffering and layers of life after loss.
This virtual circle is a space to slow down, honor where you are, and connect with others who understand that grief asks for us to slow down and be with, not urgency. Together, we'll explore how to navigate the tension between personal healing and cultural expectations, while creating space for honest conversation, reflection, and care.
🗓 Date: Tuesday, March 4th, 2025
🕰 Time: 7:00 - 8:30 PM ET | 6-7:30 PM CT | 4-5:30 PM PT
📍 Location: Live on ZOOM
This circle welcomes all types of grief—whether you’re grieving a person, a relationship, a dream, or a part of yourself.
What to Expect:
- A gentle opening mindfulness exercise
- Shared agreements to establish a sense of safety, trust, and guidelines
- Thoughtful prompts for personal reflection and group sharing
- A space to listen, share, or simply witness—no one is ever required to speak
- Closing words to leave you feeling supported and seen
