SUMMARY:New Year Grief Circle
DESCRIPTION:Join the Circle. \nOur online grief circle is a biweekly gathering to honor the pain and sorrow that comes from living in a complicated world. It is a place for listening and presence\, not for advice or judgment. \nEvery kind of grief\, big or small\, is welcome. Whether it’s sorrow from personal loss\, burnout from the work you do\, or a heavy heart for the state of the world\, all of your grief is welcome here. \nAs Joanna Macy reminds us\, “The most important thing to do is to be with your pain\, and not to deny it. In doing that\, you’re not alone.” \nWe’ll meet biweekly on Thursdays\, from 4-5 pm ET on Zoom between September 18th and January 29th\, 2026. \n\nUpcoming Dates:\nJan. 1\, 15\, & 29
