GRIEF GATHERING

Join us at our next Grief Gathering:

• July 14 RSVP HERE
• August 11 RSVP HERE

Whatever your grief experience is, it's important and helpful to stay connected to people and community. To sorrow together, to share our stories, to laugh or cry together, and to realize our experience isn't unique. 

Everyone is welcome. Even if you have no grief story to share, you can be a support and light for others or be a good listener of other's stories. 

We especially want to provide an opportunity to re-convene after our October program at ON THE EDGE and to continue to provide comfort and solidarity in a death and grief 'safe zone' with like-minded others from the community. 

Please make a note of our venue for our future Grief Gatherings @ The Guild Room at St John's Episcopal Church on Capitol Way/19th Ave, Olympia. Enter via the back door in the parking lot. Someone will be there to welcome you and direct you to the room. If you arrive after 6:45pm, the door may be locked so please text us to be let in. 

Parking: Park in the church parking lot or on nearby streets. Other groups will be using the building on the same evening. 

Drinks and cookies will be provided with cozy decor and vibes.  

RSVP above if you can or email us. Or feel free to just turn up - RSVP's just helps us know how many cookies to bring and to make sure we put out enough chairs. 

Each evening will include:

• A relaxation exercise
• An opportunity to share your grief story with others in the circle (optional) or listen to others
• A creative/writing exercise or memorial ritual or discussion

Facilitated by Jennie Beth Banks and Friends.
