heart-centered practitioners

Heart‑centered practitioners guiding grief as a living, relational practice — not something to be fixed, solved, or minimized. At The Grievery, we honor grief as a profound, natural experience that connects us deeply to ourselves, each other, the earth, and the wider world. We create compassionate, trauma-informed spaces that are anti-oppressive, 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming, and grounded in interdependence, inclusivity, and decolonization.


Rebecca and Luna bring complementary yet deeply aligned practices in grief tending, somatic awareness, spiritual embodiment, ritual, and community care. Their shared approach integrates lived experience, professional training, and decades of accompaniment to people navigating loss, transition, and threshold moments.


Together, they support individuals and groups — including The Grievery’s signature Grief Guide Training — with generosity, depth, and creative presence. Their work holds space for grief as both a necessary human practice and a path toward connection, meaning, and joy.

Rebecca Churt (she/her)

Founder of The Grievery · Grief Guide · End-of-Life Doula · Ritualist


Rebecca Churt is a practicing end-of-life doula and the founder of The Grievery. Her work is rooted in honoring grief as a natural human experience—one that connects us deeply to each other, the earth, and all living beings. Rebecca’s approach is guided by an understanding that grief does not need to be fixed or solved but instead asks to be tended to with care, presence, and compassion.


Rebecca’s life’s work centers on weaving connections across divides, nurturing emerging leaders, and building collective spaces where transformation can take root. As a bridge-builder and community weaver, she collaborates with individuals and organizations to reimagine leadership, healing, and care. Her professional journey spans engagements with Kripalu Center for Yoga, Menla and Tibet House, Upaya Zen Center, the Findhorn Foundation, and mindfulness tech startups, as well as curriculum development for MIT’s MBA and executive education programs.


Her practice is deeply influenced by the teachings and lineages of Roshi Joan Halifax, Francis Weller, Bayo Akomolafe, Alua Arthur, and other visionaries who center relational care, somatic healing, and ancestral wisdom. Rebecca holds a trauma-informed perspective developed through training with Dr. Dan Siegel at The Mindsight Institute and a grounding in somatic healing from The Embody Lab. She has also immersed herself in grief ritual work with Francis Weller, contemplative care at Upaya Zen Center, and end-of-life doula training with Going With Grace, all of which reflect a commitment to de-centering individualism and prioritizing collective care.


Rebecca’s work honors the multiplicity of grief experiences and recognizes the importance of deconstructing colonial narratives around productivity, resilience, and wellness. She centers the wisdom of interdependence and the power of witnessing.


Through The Grievery, Rebecca invites others to co-create a space where grief can be acknowledged and held with compassion—where it is okay to not have all the answers, to not "move on," and instead, to simply be. This work is a radical act of remembering our shared humanity and belonging, one practice at a time.

Luna Liebling (they/them)

Grief Guide · Somatic Practitioner · Therapist · Kohenet · Ritualist · Clown · Educator


Luna’s work centers on the belief that the more we can feel our grief, the more we are able to access our joy. At The Grievery, Luna will be supporting the Grief Guide Training. In their private practice, they support others as a group facilitator, therapist, somatic practitioner, Kohenet (Hebrew priestess), clown, and ritualist. They also go by Loon. 


Luna believes that grief is a necessary practice in this current world and is an act of resistance to business as usual. They sit with people in grieving the ongoing impacts of climate chaos, racism, fatphobia, ableism, sexism, and white supremacy, and moving from grief to empowerment. Loon believes that no healing is complete without a commitment to healing our relationship with the earth, with the collective, and with our ancestors. 


Luna is a licensed social worker in the state of Pennsylvania with a Masters in Social Work from Bryn Mawr Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research. They work as a therapist with children and adults. Loon is a queer and trans white person who aims to always be trauma informed, queer affirming, and antiracist. They love to make people laugh, lay on soft grass, dance with their friends, and swim in rivers and lakes. 

A NOTE ON OUR ROLES

At The Grievery, we are dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate their grief. However, we want to be transparent – we are not therapists or counselors. Our space is rooted in shared humanity, not clinical intervention. As experienced facilitators with decades of personal and professional experience with grief, we create a space that honors loss and helps individuals navigate their experiences through connection, reflection, and community.
