Whether you are mourning the life you hoped to live; feeling anguish for relationships that fell apart, friendships that vanished, or loved ones who died; reeling from the experience of betrayal and abandonment; or burdened with sorrow for our troubled planet – you’ve come to the right place.
At The Grievery, we believe that expressing our grief is vital and necessary to helping humanity heal, and we’re here to see you through it. Because we also believe that healing happens in community.
Our gatherings are a supportive space for those navigating any type of grief. Our trusted grief guides will lead you through sharing stories of love and loss. Together we foster a community where there's no pressure, just space to be. Read more.

Rebecca's life calling is to build healing spaces — a well of deep community care — as an offer to feel seen and received. She's a certified yoga teacher, grief guide and death doula. Her work has included mindfulness, wellness and resilience practices to restore a sense of vitality and self-empowerment.
When the world feels overwhelming we need spaces where we can gather to share our grief and tend to our broken hearts. It’s within community that we can reclaim our personal and collective strength and well-being by remembering our inherent interconnectedness.
We are a queer-owned collective, a brave space where anyone, anywhere can open up and reflect, to truly see and hear the fullness of humanity in themselves and others.
The Grievery invites us to step into community and allow each other to feel seen, heard, witnessed, and wholeheartedly welcomed.
When it’s not your turn for sharing, please listen generously and attentively.
When we share, we work to reveal our own experience, rather than commenting on someone else’s experience or what they should be doing or feeling.
We’re here to fully bear witness to what’s unfolding, in that, we honor each other’s unique ways of healing and don’t presume to advise, fix, or save one another.
We'll regard what's shared here as sacred and confidential, always.
We trust that each of us has the guidance we need within us, and there’s no pressure to speak if you don’t feel ready.
Our work is informed by consilient thinking — the linking together of principles from different disciplines. A touch of each of these modalities is woven throughout our offerings.
Modern grief-tending has been formed through the contributions and innovations of generations of people, cultures and traditions — some that are more visible than others. All of them are reflected in the work that we do today, and we acknowledge that much of these practices have been developed in the context of colonization as well as systemic oppression and inequity.
At The Grievery, our commitment is to continue to uncover and hold these contradictions and complexities with honesty and discernment. We offer our practices for the sake of deep personal, communal, and systemic transformation and healing. We believe that holding a communal space for grief is tantamount to collective consciousness-raising and liberation. We also believe that by building a relationship with grief, we increase our capacity to build intersectional solidarity while facing injustices and collapse of all kinds.
We see this work as our life’s work — a continuous practice: generative, alive and evolving.
