But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve\, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed.” \n\n\n\n-David Kessler \n\n\n\nIf you’ve lost a loved one\, a healing circle for those in grief is an opportunity to share what’s on your heart and mind\, to listen\, and be listened to deeply and generously. \n\n\n\nOur healing circles are a safe and supportive space to walk with each other through these times.  Each circle is a blend of sharing and silence\, compassion and curiosity. Our agreements ensure acceptance and confidentiality. We honor our own unique paths to healing and respect the choices of others. \n\n\n\nThis is an ongoing circle. Therefore\, you are welcome to join at any time. \n\n\n\nPlease Note: Healing circles are groups of peers who support one another through deep listening and compassion. Circle participants abide by agreements\, including agreements around confidentiality. The volunteers who host healing circles do not provide medical or psychotherapeutic advice or treatment. Participation in a healing circle does not replace the care provided by a qualified healthcare professional. \n\n\n\nThis circle meets on the third Monday of the month.  \n\n\n\nIn order to register and receive the Zoom link\, visit the \n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Grief Team Healing Circle Host \, \n Laqwa Matilpi\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Grief Team Healing Circle Host \, \n Trish Garland\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer URL:https://smithcenter.org/program/room-for-grief-2/2027-03-15/ CATEGORIES:Healing Circles,Grief Support ORGANIZER;CN="Healing Circles Global":MAILTO:registrar@healingcirclesglobal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270316T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270316T200000 DTSTAMP:20260512T200232Z CREATED:20260512T200229Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260512T200232Z UID:10001859-1805223600-1805227200@smithcenter.org SUMMARY:Monthly Caregiver Support Group DESCRIPTION:Starting April 21\, 2026\, join a monthly Caregiver Support Group offered by Cancer Support Community DC\, a supportive space for those caring for someone affected by cancer. \n\n\n\nThis group meets virtually via Zoom\, making it easy to join from home. \n\n\n\nConnect with others who understand the caregiving journey\, share experiences\, and explore strategies for self-care and balance. \n\n\n\nThis group meets every third Tuesday of the month from 7:00–8:00 PM ET on Zoom. \n\n\n\nTo register\, visit \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Support Group Facilitator \, \n Crystal Joseph\, LCPC\, LPC\, ACS\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer URL:https://smithcenter.org/program/monthly-caregiver-support-group-3/2027-03-16/ CATEGORIES:Cancer Support,Support Groups ORGANIZER;CN="Cancer Support Community DC":MAILTO:llove@cancersupportcommunity.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270320T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270320T120000 DTSTAMP:20260611T200727Z CREATED:20260512T142353Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260611T200727Z UID:10001564-1805533200-1805544000@smithcenter.org SUMMARY:Nueva Vida Grupo de Apoyo (en Español) DESCRIPTION:Nueva Vida es una organización independiente\, sin fines de lucro\, que proporciona servicios integrales de cáncer gratuitos\, a las familias latinas en el Distrito de Columbia\, Virginia del Norte (hasta el sur de Prince William County)\, Suburban Maryland (Condados de Montgomery y Prince George)\, Richmond\, y Baltimore.
