Queer Grief Club New Moon Meditation

Part collective reading and part guided visualization, this space is a gentle invitation for queer grievers to come back into our bodies, to breathe, and to rest. Led by Michelle of Agua y Sangre Healing, this grounded space is trauma-sensitive and offers gentle care to tender hearts.

We will begin with an invitation to contribute to a communal altar and close with a grief sharing circle . Please bring a blanket or yoga mat to use. Optional: bring an object or a photo that represents your grief or your loss if you would like . Tea, water, and a couple of little treats will be provided.

Tickets are $5-$19 sliding scale.

Location: Side Yard Farm and Kitchen, Northeast Simpson Street, Portland, OR, USA

About our Facilitator: Michelle Castor (she/they) is a mixed brown queer femme and a Portal Doula. They support individuals and communities in navigating the portal-like transformations of grief, loss, fertility/TTC, pregnancy, and the postpartum - along with intentionally imagining and creating life on the “other side” of these portals or thresholds. Learn more about their work at aguasangrehealing.com, and find her on IG @aguasangrehealing.
