Things Falling Apart: Virtual Grief Circle - July Edition
Things are falling apart. Your relationship. Your body. Your plans. The career you were supposed to want. The world you were promised. The version of yourself you've been dragging behind you for years.
And everywhere, the same tired script: keep it together. Stay positive. Move on. Heal it. Optimize it. Turn it into a podcast. Do not, under any circumstances, be a downer at brunch.
Enough.
Things Falling Apart is a virtual circle for people who are done pretending. Done performing fine. Done shrinking their grief to a size that makes other people comfortable. We come together to tend to what is breaking, dissolving, ending, or quietly rotting, and we refuse to rush it, fix it, spin it, or make it productive.
What this is: A discovery session into grief tending. A chance to learn what this almost-forgotten practice is, to feel what it's like inside a circle, and to be guided through reflection practices, gentle ritual, and community presence. A held space. A small act of refusal in a culture that wants your grief sanitized and brief. Whatever is quietly falling apart in you, heartbreak, burnout, a friendship, a faith, the climate, something you can't even name yet, it is welcome here, exactly as it is, for as long as it needs.
What this is not: Not therapy. Not group therapy. Not a workshop, a healing protocol, or a place to be advised, coached, fixed, or love-and-lighted. Nobody is going to tell you it happened for a reason. Nobody is going to ask what you've learned. There is nothing to solve here. Only presence.
This is also not a space for grief in its rawest, most acute stage. If you are in the early, active days of a loss, a recent death, a fresh diagnosis, a rupture still bleeding, you deserve closer, more dedicated care than a group circle can offer. This space is for the grief that stayed. The grief that quietly settled in after the world moved on. The ache that lives underneath the surface of an otherwise functioning life.
This circle is held in a trauma-aware space. We won't be diving into the depths of anyone's story. Instead, you'll be invited to be with your grief through guided reflection, simple ritual, and the quiet power of being witnessed in community.
What to bring: Yourself. Your journal. A candle if you want one. Tissues, tea, a blanket, whatever you actually need. A quiet space where you won't be interrupted. You can speak, cry, sit in silence, or keep your camera off. All of it is welcome. None of it is wrong.
Investment: CHF 25 (approx. EUR 27 / USD 31, depending on the exchange rate on the day of payment). If you're in a place of financial hardship and feel called to this work, please reach out, nobody is turned away for lack of funds.
A note on what's coming: Three one-off circles this summer: June 9th, July 7th, August 11th. Come to one. Come to all three. Each one stands on its own.
From September through December, I'll be holding a longer grief tending program, a closed container for those who feel called to go deeper, slower, and further into this work together. If you'd like to know more about it, reach out, I'd love to tell you about it.
Any questions before then, my inbox is open. 🤍
Come honoring the things that are falling apart!
