(The First!) ANIMAL PEOPLE GRIEF CLUB (in person: San Francisco, CA)
We're here to create a space for people who deeply love and have lost an animal in their life, to be together.
OUR EVENING TOGETHER: If you've lost someone you love dearly and that someone is a non-human animal please come join us! Our evening together includes guided meditations, an open mic share, small group time together, and community hang time to meet other Animal People.
There is ZERO pressure to share at all, just come and be comfy with other people who understand your love and your grief.
I’m really excited to host you all. I lost my best friend Audrey, the love of my life for the past 13 years, about a year ago. I have spent the past year processing and healing and transforming my love and grief.
HOSTED BY: AnimalPeople is a lifestyle brand for animal lovers including ethical fashion for deeply connected people and animals, and in person events like this one. Founder: Leanne Hilgart
Special Guests:
- Mariana Moreno-Gonzalez is a heart-centered Animal Portrait Artist
- Tory Duchene is a Certified Pet Grief Specialist
GRIEF SHARE: If you’d like to share something (totally optional! Limited spots) please DM me (Host: Leanne Hilgart). Each share will be 1-3 minutes.
It could be:- a story about your beloved animal
- what your beloved animal taught you
- what grief has taught you
- your experience of grief
- a poem or passage from a book that resonates with your grief
COMMUNITY TIME: Afterwards everyone who’d like is welcome to stay and hang out, to meet likeminded AnimalPeople! We can stay until 10pm at chambers.
DRINKS! Chambers very generously donates this space for our AnimalPeople Grief Club - if you’re financially able, PLEASE plan to order a drink or two to thank them for opening for us! This keeps it possible for us to keep hosting these here. I am working with them on a special Wellness drink menu for us.
