Room for Grief

Grief, Gratitude, and Belonging

Grief is not a problem to be solved, but an experience to be witnessed. Grief, when shared, becomes a bridge that connects us rather than a burden that isolates us; and offers an opportunity for finding authentic healing. We will speak from personal experience, listen with curiosity, and honor different ways of responding to grief.

We will ground ourselves, share what brings us to the space, as well as what we are taking with us as we leave. As our monthly gatherings evolve, participants and community members will be invited to share the particular gifts and skills they have to offer this collective experience of grief. This may include singing, movement, breath work, and other embodied practices.

Participants are welcome to bring something to add to the altar that represents their experience of grief.

Paula Williams will hold the space for these peer-led gatherings. Paula is a long-time member of the Northland community having first come to the area in the late 90’s to live and work with the Loaves and Fishes community, then moving to a nearby farm in 2000 where she tried her hand as a flower farmer and hosted gatherings in the big red dairy barn. Motherhood settled her in to life in the country, until she moved back to Duluth in 2024. Paula has worked as a life coach for over 20 years, pivoting to therapy in May. She has been imagining this kind of monthly grief gathering for years and is grateful to Halcyon House for the opportunity to gather in its unique space.
