Grief Affinity Circle

Grief, grace, and grounding

Come As You Are to Commune and Connect

Grief doesn’t demand clarity or resolve—it asks for our presence, curiosity, and permission to feel it fully. Join grief and loss educator Akilah S. Richards to honor your grief, judgement-free.

In our free monthly gathering, we will:

Dispel the harmful myths about grief that leave us feeling isolated.
Recognize the patterns we lean on during relief, while evolving our grieftending skills.
Offer and receive the kind of listening that nurtures each person’s unique story.

Grief work isn’t about figuring it all out or moving on. It’s about tending to the human need for connection, expression, and care. Let’s take this time to meet ourselves and each other while we cultivate a sense of curiosity about grief’s lessons, even in the midst of deep discomfort.

NOTE: The Circle will close at 7:20 pm. It is NOT RECORDED.
