[ WORKSHOP ] Grief Circle

  • Yoga Passage 524 11 Avenue Southwest Calgary, AB, T2R 0C8 Canada (map)

Our grief circle offerings hold space to express emotions and share memories and experiences related to loss, with the hope of integrating grief into our lives. We will follow the healing flow within the rich connection of the community through activating and witnessing and then soothing our grief.

During the circle, we will be connecting with each other to share our grief and loss – there may be singing, writing, drumming, movement, writing, reading, and snacking.('feast') We will honour Francis Weller’s Six Gates of Grief during our time together.

1. All that we love we will lose
2. The places that have not known love
3. The Sorrows of the World
4. What we expected but did not receive
5. Ancestral grief

All grief is always welcome in the circle. Whether it’s the loss of a person, place or pet, a life transition, or the sorrow you feel for what is unfolding in the world, your grief has a place within the circle.

Both Daria and Alexis completed Francis Weller’s six month Grief Ritual Training in 2024.
