Mindful Grief Support Groups - Grief Circles

Grief is heavy—but you don’t have to carry it alone.

Whether your loss is recent or years past, this group is a space to pause, breathe, and be with others who understand.

We’re offering two new live, 6-week group experiences—designed specifically for:

  • Those grieving the loss of a spouse or partner

  • Adult children grieving one or both parents

Each group offers gentle mindfulness-based practices, shared reflection, and structure that supports—not overwhelms.

You’ll be welcomed as you are. No pressure to perform, fix, or “move on.” Just presence, compassion, and the steady support of a small, guided group.

Please note: These groups are only for individuals who are personally grieving. We do not offer grief support for those who are in a role of providing grief support for others (e.g., caregivers, professional support workers, etc.). If you are offering grief support to others—whether professionally, via social media, or elsewhere—you can email us to be placed on a waitlist for upcoming events. This space is dedicated to those who are personally navigating their own grief journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. This space is beginner-friendly. Practices are gentle, explained in plain language, and always optional. You don’t need to know how to meditate or sit still for long periods.

  • No. For your privacy and the safety of others, group sessions are never recorded, and screenshots are not permitted. We ask that everyone respect each other’s confidentiality.

  • Yes, please. You’ll need a quiet, confidential space where you feel safe to share and listen. Headphones are strongly encouraged.

  • Most grief support groups are open share circles. This is different. These groups offer guided structure, trauma-sensitive facilitation, and weekly themes to gently support emotional processing—without pressure.
    It’s not therapy, but it’s more than a drop-in group.

  • Not at all. This space is open to people of all spiritual backgrounds (or none). Nothing is imposed. Mindfulness and compassion are offered as universal practices—not tied to any religion or philosophy.

  • These groups are for anyone who has experienced the loss of a spouse, partner, or parent (one or both). Grief does not have an expiration date—so whether your loss is recent or years ago, you’re welcome.

    If you’ve been told you may be experiencing complicated grief or feel unsure whether a group setting is right for you, let’s talk. I may recommend a few 1:1 sessions first to ensure this space can fully support your needs.

  • That’s okay. Grief has its own timing. You can join the waitlist, or email at info@griefcircles,com if you’d like to ask questions or talk it through.

🕊️ You’re welcome here—exactly as you are.

These groups aren’t about fixing or moving on. They’re about moving with grief—with presence, with care, and in community.

If that speaks to your heart, I hope you’ll join us.
