Pre-Passover Grief Support Check In

We will talk about how we can continue to honor them this Passover and how they can continue to live inside of us. $100 Limited to 8 participants.
Honoring Our Lives & Honoring Our Loves
Life is about living; life is about loving and life is about dying. Death is an ending and change we did not want. Yet, our relationships with our loved ones continue after their deaths. So, it’s a new beginning as well. If you need to make time in your life to listen to yourself, reflect, write and connect to your feelings this group is for you. It includes time for participants to share who and what they are grieving, what they are learning about their grief and a meditation on meeting one’s own death. 3 session $300. Limited to 10 participants.
Mother’s Day Grief Support Check In
Living without our mothers physically with us can feel like a piece of us is missing. Our love continues for them and so often we long for their presence. Whether you had a challenging relationship with your mother or a loving one, Mother’s Day can be very hard. Our time together includes introducing our mothers and our ‘soul’ mothers’ (those women in our lives who we relate to as nurturers who were not our biological mothers).

Father’s Day Grief Support Check In

Our time together includes introducing our fathers and our ‘soul’ fathers (those men in our lives who we relate to as nurturers not necessarily biological fathers). Speak or write about how their death is currently affecting you and about what has helped you on your journey of living your life without him here. We will also make space for our grandfathers and ancestors offering healing to any unhealed parts of our lineage, celebrating the legacy they gave us and learn strategies to bring them into our lives in more meaningful ways. $100 Limited to 10 participants

Holiday Grief Support Group
The holidays can be painful reminders of loss. We don’t want to pretend to be happy when we aren’t, but how do we manage as merriment goes on around us? Traditions and plans may have shifted since the loss of our loved one, and the emotional stress can be rough. We will take time for sharing, personal reflection and we will discuss ways to help make our grief journeys a bit easier during this time. Though there are commonalities in the grief journey, our experience and process differs as uniquely as our fingerprints. Whatever your grief you are welcome. $100 Limited to 8 participants.

We will light candles together as we bless our ancestors and ask their blessing on us. $100 limited to 10 participants.
