These are our grief and loss stories. Having experienced the intense heartbreak of loss and also healing, it is our sacred intention to be guides for those who are lost in the wilderness of grief.

Through our own experiences and shared stories of others who are grieving, we know how lonely, frightening, and isolating this time can be.

We have committed to creating a safe space for conversations of comfort, solace, and shared storytelling through our teaching events.

We did 2 public events in 2015 (NY and NJ) and 2016 (Alburqueque and Santa Fe, NM) and self-funded them. Our intention is to host a retreat in Aug-Sept. 2018 in the sacred space of Charney Manor (Oxfordshire, U.K. ) for an intimate group of 25 grieving people...and we need your help.

Your contribution will help us travel, teach, and hold space for 25 grieving hearts and their varied journeys.
