A peer-to-peer grief support circle, facilitated by Michelle. This circle is for our BIPOC fam, LGBTQIA+ sibs, hopeful/expectant/current parents who's journey's exist beyond the "norm," and all seeking heart-centered care. All grief is welcome.
The space is held by all of us and facilitated by, me, Michelle Castor (she/they). I am a fertility doula, postpartum doula, grief worker, herbalist, facilitator, and bodyworker. All-in-all, I am a 𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒅𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒂, supporting individuals and communities navigating the portal-like experiences of fertility, prenatal, postpartum, and grief and loss with tools like ritual, gentle embodiment, herbal allies, wonder, awareness, and more.

“Communal grieving offers something that we cannot get when we grieve by ourselves. Through validation, acknowledgement and witnessing, communal grieving allows us to experience a level of healing that is deeply and profoundly freeing.”
