Join us at our next Grief Gathering.
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 the next Grief Gathering at Amahoro House, Olympia Fig building, home of 'Hospice without Borders' (not at the Friendly Meeting House or our previous Cherry St location). It is east of downtown Olympia, just down the hill from Ralph's Thriftway, on the left. It is a small residential building with a yellow/gold color. If you're following google maps put the 1713 State Ave NE address in.
Parking: Park on State Ave and enter via the front door - look for the Olympia Fig sign out front. Or park around the back of the building or on nearby Fir St or McCormick St and enter through the back door - look for the Amahoro sign out back. Call us if you get lost!
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:
Facilitated by Jennie Beth Banks and Friends.
The March 20 Grief Gathering will include a shared discussion about the language we use around grief and death, especially relating to our own experience.
