This gathering creates a gentle, boundaried container for collective grief in the wake of the holidays– a time that often magnifies loss, longing, & complicated emotions. Together, we will honor grief without pathologizing it, & joy without guilt, recognizing that both can coexist in the same body, breath, & moment.
A guided community circle where we turn toward our grief and use the power of breath to gently guide it into flow. Hosted by the Denver Deathcare Collective. Where grief is tended and death is sacred. These monthly grief circles at Sakala Community are a compassionate space to hold your sorrow in the embrace of community. In this month’s circle, Ashley Bradney of Healing & Dying is partnering with Erin Doty of ShatterStress to offer a somatic transformation of grief through breathwork. Together, we’ll honor the grief that lives in our bodies, invite in flow and release of emotional energy […]
The South Side Death Cafe is held the fourth Wednesday of the month at St Kilda Library, Victoria Australia. Alternating between 2-4pm and 5:30 - 7:30pm. Come for the death talk, stay for the snacks. This is an inclusive, open conversation about death and end of life but is not a bereavement or counselling session. Facilitated by Funeral Celebrant Klara McMurray (aka The Funky Celebrant), there are lots of giggles, deep chats and conversations that have been known to change lives. After all, talking about it won’t kill you!
Grief is not meant to be carried alone. This community grief circle is an open, supportive space for people navigating loss of any kind : death, relationships, identity, or life changes.

What to expect: • A facilitated, guided grief circle • Gentle grounding and opening ritual • Space for reflection, sharing, or quiet presence • Community connection without pressure to speak • A calm, respectful, and confidential environment Open […]
This is a monthly offering, happening on the second Tuesday of every month. This offering is designed to support somatically moving our shared and personal grief. We begin to build our container through brief sharing and connecting and then move into movement, vocalizing, wailing, praying, and drumming. We are building community through acknowledging and exploring the shared human experience of grief and loss.
According to a recent AARP study, there are over 52 million caregivers in the United States right now—and 70% of them say they are overwhelmed. Every single day, I receive messages from current and former caregivers who say: “I wish I had this knowledge when I was caring for my loved one.” Or: “The Doulagivers training is helping me more than I can say.” The truth is: We will all have a caregiving story. Let’s make sure yours is one filled with support, empowerment, and peace. That’s why I created The GOOD DEATH BOOK CLUB Experience: Death and Dying Course—a […]
A two-day communal grief ritual weekend, held in the Sóme tradition. We will be cooking the ritual through many opportunities to connect with one another as well as ample time for introspection and quietude. We are building community through tending to our shared and personal human experience of grief and loss. This is not a residential weekend it will run Saturday 10-9 and Sunday 10-6. Afternoon and evening meals will be provided.
Grief isn’t only something we experience after a death. We grieve relationships, careers, dreams, and a changing sense of safety, and many of us are also grieving the state of the world itself. These everyday griefs are often unspoken, yet they shape how we navigate life and care for one another. Many of us are wondering how to stay engaged with what’s happening in the world while also caring for our own mental and emotional well-being. This 90-minute interactive, donation-based grief workshop explores grief as a life skill - one that helps us adapt to unwanted change, understand what we […]

The Art of Grief Tending is a 3-hour online experiential workshop for those who wish to understand grief better — their own grief or that of others — and learn ways to meet it with presence, compassion, and skill. In a culture that often avoids grief, pathologizes it, or urges people to “move on,” this workshop offers a grounded introduction to grief as a natural, relational, and lifelong response to loss — not something to “get over,” but something to be tended in community and with care. Through grief literacy teaching, gentle somatic practices, guided reflection, and shared inquiry, participants […]
