FALL Grief/joy circle
Date/Time TBD | $33
These circles are a safe and sacred container where we will:
+ name and honor our losses (both personal and collective)
+ experience simple and deeply nourishing practices to bring more grounding and peace to your body, mind, and heart.
+ weave together conversation, honoring rituals, and embodied practices to honor your experience
+ invite beauty and gratitude and hope into our stories.
+ find solace in a community of kindreds who will witness your heart, honor your journey, and reflect back to you the truth that nourishment and healing can happen when we come together as women.
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.
We want to resist the temptation to stay lonely, defeated, sad, or scared.
We want to be able to also hold so much JOY even amidst the losses in our world. The world needs it. WE need it.
Our willingness to process grief and loss has a direct connection to the ability to hold beauty and goodness and joy alongside of the difficult realities in life. We gather to share honestly, to honor our losses (whether personal, collective, or both), to nourish our nervous systems, and look for joy, together.
We will meet on the deck by the river at The Stone House - 1931 NY-97, Pond Eddy, NY 12770
Grief “scatters and shatters”. And it can feel so difficult to confront our grief and loss head-on. Sometimes it just feels easier to bury these painful experiences and “move on” with life (because the rest of the world keeps going) and because we worry that if we open up the floodgates, we may never be able to close them again.
But the reality is, the more we numb/shut down/ ignore/suppress, the more disconnected we become. This disconnection can show up personally with your own body/heart/mind or even with important relationships in your life. This is why entering in, in a safe container with others, is so important.
“Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.” – Brené Brown
We want to stay connected.
Hi! i’m abby, your circle guide
I’ve been a foster mama for 11 years (and adoptive mom for 8) and have experienced the many waters of love and grief on this journey. I hold an MSW and a trauma-informed yoga certification and have spent two decades working alongside children, families, and women navigating trauma, grief, transition, and loss. As I navigate these waters, and the joys and beauty God weaves through my life, I’m passionate about creating spaces where women feel held, nourished, and deeply supported.
My prayer is that this circle is that space for you.
