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-2/2029-03-19/ CATEGORIES:Healing Circles,Grief Support ORGANIZER;CN="Healing Circles Global":MAILTO:registrar@healingcirclesglobal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20290320T073000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20290320T080000 DTSTAMP:20260610T005646 CREATED:20260512T140534Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260512T140537Z UID:10001413-1868686200-1868688000@smithcenter.org SUMMARY:LGBTQIA+ Morning Meditation DESCRIPTION:Come together as an LGBTQIA+ community for a weekly morning meditation sit.  \n\n\n\nWe will settle in for a few minutes\, then meditation (guided and silence) for 20 minutes and end with around the virtual circle with a few words of gratitude. \n\n\n\nNote: Because this is an online sit\, participants are encouraged to find space of relative quiet\, limiting the amount of interaction with others in the environment as much as possible.

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-2/2029-04-16/ CATEGORIES:Healing Circles,Grief Support ORGANIZER;CN="Healing Circles Global":MAILTO:registrar@healingcirclesglobal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20290417T073000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20290417T080000 DTSTAMP:20260610T005646 CREATED:20260512T140534Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260512T140537Z UID:10001417-1871105400-1871107200@smithcenter.org SUMMARY:LGBTQIA+ Morning Meditation DESCRIPTION:Come together as an LGBTQIA+ community for a weekly morning meditation sit.  \n\n\n\nWe will settle in for a few minutes\, then meditation (guided and silence) for 20 minutes and end with around the virtual circle with a few words of gratitude. \n\n\n\nNote: Because this is an online sit\, participants are encouraged to find space of relative quiet\, limiting the amount of interaction with others in the environment as much as possible.

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-2/2029-05-21/ CATEGORIES:Healing Circles,Grief Support ORGANIZER;CN="Healing Circles Global":MAILTO:registrar@healingcirclesglobal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20290522T073000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20290522T080000 DTSTAMP:20260610T005646 CREATED:20260512T140534Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260512T140537Z UID:10001422-1874129400-1874131200@smithcenter.org SUMMARY:LGBTQIA+ Morning Meditation DESCRIPTION:Come together as an LGBTQIA+ community for a weekly morning meditation sit.  \n\n\n\nWe will settle in for a few minutes\, then meditation (guided and silence) for 20 minutes and end with around the virtual circle with a few words of gratitude. \n\n\n\nNote: Because this is an online sit\, participants are encouraged to find space of relative quiet\, limiting the amount of interaction with others in the environment as much as possible.
