Staying With.
a free zoom communal gathering space for grief, discomfort, and inner reckoning
I’ve been thinking much lately about the geography of grief. Of hope. Of wanting. Of being. Of acing. And loving.
There’s so much unraveling. So much grief and injustice. So much to witness and metabolize. And the overwhelm of not knowing how to be with any of it, and still needing to keep going.
It’s easy to shut down, to go numb, to lose track of what we feel. Sometimes we can’t tell if we’re protecting ourselves or abandoning something important.
This space is an invitation to come back to yourself. Not to figure things out. To be in relationship with what’s emerging from within. To be present with your emerging noticings.
Being with and meeting discomfort is part of that. Especially discomfort that asks us to look inward. To notice what we’ve taken for granted. To question what we’ve been taught to trust. To feel into what sits okay and what doesn’t.
A reckoning that deeply matters. That’s rooted in healing, inside the messes. That reorients us to the gravity of this moment.
A gravity that needs to be felt and witnessed and experienced.
When we let ourselves feel it, it shows us where we are. And maybe, guides us where to go next.
So this is an invitation to gather.
Without agenda or performance.
Just you and me and other sweet humans, gathering together in community, in real time, bringing what we’re carrying.
Grief. Anger. Tenderness. Uncertainty. A desire to feel less alone.
This space is free. Nothing will be sold or promoted. Just an invitation to be here, fully, as you are.
🗓️ Wednesday, August 12th, from 7-8:30pm EST
📍 Zoom (link after registration)
I’ll share links to vetted organizations doing urgent humanitarian relief, for those who want to offer tangible support.
I hope you’ll join us in taking good care of ourselves, and each other.
