Grief Circle: Starting the Year Together

The start of the year can bring mixed feelings. The world is shouting “fresh start!” but your body might still be holding things that feel unfinished, unspoken, or too heavy to leave behind.

If you’re feeling the weight of loss... recent or old, sharp or quiet... you’re not alone. This circle is a space to tend to grief in community.

We’ll follow a simple structure, similar to a sharing or integration circle. Everyone who wants to speak will have time to do so, and everyone else will witness... without interruption, advice, or pressure. You don’t have to explain or make sense of anything. Just bring whatever is present for you right now.

We’ll also do a short, simple water ritual to help us honor our grief and let go of what we’re ready to release.

You’re also welcome to bring a small object that symbolizes your grief... a note, a photo, a stone... to place on our shared altar for the evening.

This circle isn’t about being fixed or feeling better. It’s about being real, being witnessed, and making space around the edges of what still hurts.

If you’re not into “woo” but open to a little ritual, presence, and human connection, this space is for you.

All are welcome. Come as you are. Bring whatever you’re carrying.
