“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. Grief is just love with no place to go.” - Jamie Anderson
This month’s Grief Listening Circle is open to all who have experienced loss of any kind.
Each month, we host a Grief Listening Circle, a space to sit with our stories of loss. The circle offers a non-judgemental presence, where we listen to one another, honour all experiences, and allow ourselves to feel supported and held.
Who is it for?
For those who are carrying loss in visible or invisible ways, and wish to be met with gentle listening.
