About us
Beneath our personal and collective heartbreak lives longing: for meaning, for connection, for belonging.
This series offers a compassionate, village-like space to witness, be witnessed, and engage with tenderness and respect—to shift from isolation to connection, from numbness to aliveness, from despair to meaning
Grief & Grace is a seven-week collective journey inviting participants to meet both the light and the dark that move among us—together.
Each weekly gathering is guided by Michael Gelbart, a highly experienced therapist and leader, and will at times be joined by invited guest facilitators, weaving together structured practices of soulful attunement, dialogue, reflective writing, storytelling, poetry, music, ritual, and shared presence.
