Collective Grief: It's Not Just You
Collective grief goes beyond personal pain. It's the shared emotional burden we carry in response to global challenges like climate change, societal injustices, and political unrest. If the world's mounting concerns weigh heavily on you, know this: You’re not alone.
Thursdays at 4 p.m.: Our online sessions are focused on forging connections through story sharing and deep listening.
What We Offer:
- Empathy: Engage with peers who resonate with your experiences.
- Expression: A nurturing space to discuss your concerns.
- Empowerment: Drawing strength from our collective journeys and insights.
Positivity and self-care alone can't erase legitimate distress. This is a space for radical honesty, empathy, and our shared humanity.
