Losing a parent changes you. It’s weird, it’s heavy, it’s lonely — and a lot of people don’t know how to talk about it. Dead Parents Club is a virtual grief circle for anyone navigating life after the loss of a parent (or parents). This is a space where you don’t have to sugarcoat it. No one’s going to rush you, try to fix you, or flinch when you talk about the hard stuff. We’ll begin with a short grounding — a few moments to connect with your body and breath — and then we’ll open the circle. The rest […]

The Last Stitch Society creates space for the conversations many of us crave but rarely find—about mortality, grief, loss, and how we might live more fully by acknowledging life's impermanence. Bring any portable craft project—knitting, embroidery, mending, sketching—and join us as we stitch and share. No experience necessary, just an openness to authentic connection. Light refreshments provided to nourish both body and conversation. In a culture that often pushes difficult topics into the shadows, Last Stitch Society offers a warm, welcoming environment to explore the full spectrum of human experience. Together, we'll unravel the threads of meaning that connect us […]

Bound By Loss is a thoughtfully facilitated book circle for those navigating loss who feel ready to engage with their grief through reading, reflection, and discussion. This circle will provide a supportive, non-pathologizing space to explore grief-related literature — offering insight, validation, and connection outside the structure of formal therapy and with a return to community in mind. Each month, we’ll read and discuss a selected book, ranging from memoirs and personal narratives to research-based explorations of grief, loss, and meaning-making. Conversations will be facilitated with care, fostering curiosity, self-reflection, and shared experiences. While this is not a therapy group, […]
A Death Café is a warm, welcoming gathering where people—often strangers—come together to talk openly about death, dying, and the meaning of life. There’s no agenda, no selling, and no judgment—just real conversations over tea, coffee, and usually a bit of cake. It’s not a grief support group or a therapy session, but a space for curiosity, reflection, and connection. By talking about death, we often discover how we want to live more fully. At its heart, a Death Café is about breaking the silence and creating a community where life’s hardest topic becomes a source of shared understanding and […]
