Gathering for
Grieving Hearts
Gathering for Grieving Hearts
Grief can be one of the loneliest journeys we walk every day, yet so many of us are carrying the same weight. Gathering for grieving hearts is a gentle space to come together to share our stories, honor our loved ones, and remember that we do not have to carry our grief alone.
Together we will slow down, breathe, reflect, connect, and create space for both the pain of loss and the love that remains.
Guests are invited to bring a favorite photograph of their loved one for our remembrance altar and closing ceremony.
“Because grief is not something to overcome, it is love that continues to have a place in our lives.”
What to Bring
No yoga experience necessary.
Simply come as you are.
