we welcome folks to share their grief, but no need to share any amount of feelings or experiences to participate. you don’t even have to be grieving to join us! curiosity to learn is enough. you can share as much or as little as is comfortable for you. no expectations.

we’re a disabled run group! safety precautions like masking, air filtration systems, and COVID-19 testing are important to us. we require masks to be worn at our gatherings for those who can safely wear them. we also host virtual meet-ups and do our best to host in-person meet-ups at accessible venues.

cultivating joy is at the foundation of our gatherings! we believe it’s necessary to give ourselves some reprieve from all the heavy work to craft, dance, or learn a new skill. together we do our best to weave joy into and alongside of our grief (sometimes while still crying). it can all exist!

we host a variety of new guests each month who are skilled and passionate about death and grief work. we believe grieving can be experienced and expressed in a plethora of ways! it’s our mission to share skills with our community and expand on the limiting beliefs of how one “should” grieve. we learn from death doulas, herbalists, dancers, poets, farmers, yoga instructors, and more!

we can’t grieve solely on our own, yet we’ve been harshly conditioned to do so. we’re breaking the cycles of harm and isolation every time we gather. we shouldn’t have to be alone through loss and heartbreak. together we make connections, meet new friends, find folks who share similar experiences, and nourish a stronger community.

more heart! more tenderness! more authenticity! more trust! more love!
more crying! more joy! more realness! more queerness!
