Online Grief Support Groups (1.5 hours) are community-based support groups grounded in mindful somatic practices. Each week there is a theme that helps guide the group and a short self regulation technique will be presented. Bringing a journal is optional but recommended. Log on in the comfort of your own place.

Online Meditation classes (30 minutes). These include about a 20 minute meditation and optional 10 minutes of community gathering where,  if desired, participants can share meditative insights. 

For the grief group-No. these are confidential groups and will not be recorded.

For online meditation classes- YES! Please make sure you provide your email so those can be sent 24-48 hours after the meditation. 

Online Support Groups- Find a comfortable space where you can let go. Bringing a journal is highly recommended.

The number one thing I hear people say when they come to their first support group is, "I almost turned around and didn't come," or "I'm so anxious about being here."

Just know that most everyone in the group is feeling the same exact thing! This is absolutely 100% COMPLETELY NORMAL and is why this class is what you need. Anxiety and grief go together hand in hand. You will never be forced to share. Sharing is optional. I will try to facilitate conversation within the group, but if you don't feel like talking, no worries. This is time for YOU. This is space for YOUR grief.

First off- welcome! My community of grief support is UNIQUE. I created the flow of the 8 week group, knowing that a lot of times sharing is so painful, and that we can process grief through movement, breath, journaling, and meditation. In a traditional support group, you may just go and talk the entire time. That is certainly one way to process, but I believe in an integrated approach to grief release and support. Community does and can HEAL. You may find that initially you do not want to share, but as we dive into each group, you may feel comfortable to talk and share your experience. As a participant, confidentiality is expected, so your story or anyone else's story is not told elsewhere.

"Falling apart" happens. Vulnerability may take over and you will see that this space is completely open and receptive to that. Crying is always ok and each class there are several participants that tear up and cry. We honor that and hold space for these releases.

YES! Always! What we are sharing is raw, human, perhaps an insight that just came to you, perhaps something that you've told NO ONE else. Because of this, I expect every participant to uphold confidentiality. A break of confidentiality would be the only reason that I would have to ask you to not come to group. It is super important that we hold this space of grief in a way that our stories are not told elsewhere.

With that said, anything I say in class if IT IS NOT RELATED to someone else's story, is ok to share (these things are usually vignettes, my own personal experience that is meant to enrich the theme of the week, insights, guidance...) I am always honored when participants share my teachings and guidance to others. If something I said really struck you, feel free to share.
