Intro to the Gates of Grief

Grab your lunch or favorite tea and join us for a session with Rebecca Churt, Founder of The Grievery.

This 50-minute introductory session offers a guided walk through a framework that expands grief far beyond death — into the realms of identity, longing, lost opportunities, and the quiet heartache we carry for a fractured world.

We’ll take a concise tour of Francis Weller’s Gates of Grief (from The Wild Edge of Sorrow) and explore how grief — when acknowledged rather than avoided — becomes a vital life skill: helping us stay connected to ourselves and what matters most.

This session is an invitation to explore grief with curiosity — not to fix anything or relive pain, but to make room for what has long wanted to be named, opening the door to greater clarity, resilience, and meaning.
