This 6 week grief support group will take place each season and include movement, journaling, grief psychoeducation, sharing, and connection.
Kelsey invites participants to process their grief courageously by acknowledging and expressing their feelings of grief and learning to stay present in their grief experience. Her hope is that this in turn will ripple out into the community creating a more grief aware and grief accepting culture allowing individuals and communities to express their grief freely. Group will always begin with the ritual of lighting a candle for our person/people who died. Participants are invited to have a candle, a journal, a cup of tea or hot water with lemon, and anything else that feels cozy/comforting/grounding with them during group meetings.
