    Glue Sticks and Feelings: an Anti Valentine’s Day Grief Crafting Circle

    Valentine's Day. Grief. Both can be messy and heavy and complicated. Also funny and strange. Let's talk about it. Join us for Glue Sticks and Feelings: an Anti Valentine’s Day Grief Crafting Circle. Come hang out with other grievers, crafters, grieving crafters, and crafting grievers. Share what you feel comfortable sharing, and make a collage, a mini zine, a Valentine to what or whomever you're grieving – or BYO craft, so long as there is no glitter / oil paints / physical mess that would impact the space. Our artistic abilities: amateurish. We welcome and adore artistic visions of macaroni […]

    Dyeing before Dying: A Return To Indigenous Wisdom on Death

    Dyeing before Dying: A Return To Indigenous Wisdom on Death

    In summer 2025, I was in Benin and went to my paternal grandmother’s grave, visiting it for the first time since she died some years ago. Her grave is not just a stone in the ground of a cemetery, but a room within her family’s house, a place where life continues to unfold with death resting beneath us. With my brother, my aunt and my grand mothers’s siblings, we settled in the room, removed the dust, sat, chatted and performed rituals and prayers for her soul to continue resting in peace and wisdom. There, in the presence of her spirit, […]

    “It’s Complicated” – Support Group

    Childfree By Choice & Grieving

    Virtual Event

    It’s not a given that everyone who is childfree by choice is 100%, unabashedly content with the decision. While we may be set in our choice, there can still be grief there. I know there is for me. It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate, depressing, and/or systemic reasons, and I created this space where we can be with our truths, and hurts, around it all. Our monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to […]

    Teeth Become Weapons: Trans Grief and Rage

    Zoom Cornelius, NC

    Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities. Our bodies, lives, and very beings are increasingly politicized. Our stories and histories are flattened, made palatable for the sake of survival. Our unique grief becomes increasingly buried and unheard, unshared. What makes it unique? What do we grieve? How does that grief affect us? What prevents us from […]

    Dead Parents Club

    Losing a parent changes you. It’s weird, it’s heavy, it’s lonely. Dead Parents Club is a grief circle for anyone navigating life after the loss of a parent (or parents). This is a space where the whole of you and your grief are welcome, however it shows up. We begin with a short grounding to connect with your body and breath, and then the circle is open. The rest of the 90 minutes are yours: to share, to listen, to cry, to sit in silence. Whatever you need. There’s no pressure to speak, and no need to perform your grief […]
