the structure
Our Black Women’s Grief Support Group offers one monthly Grief & Praise session, which is primarily process-based – including writing practices, somatic/embodied practices, and group as well as partner/trio work. We also always dance to move the energy, no professional dance training required!
If you miss a live session, they will be recorded so you can listen and do the practices on your own or with a friend.
These sessions are facilitated by Tecca Thompson who has worked deeply with her own grief and is trained & mentored by Josea. To learn more about Tecca, keep scrolling to read her bio!
This is a group of people who are deeply committed to the work of transforming their pain into medicine. If you feel called, I hope you will join us!

Why grieve in Community?
I believe firmly in the intertwined health of individual, community & ecosystem. As the world falls apart around us, we need each other now more than ever. We need to hold and be held by each other through our grief, so we can bring back resilience and vibrant health to ourselves, each other and our earth.
The dark woods of grief can be frightening...
…to you if you haven’t had someone to lead you through and show you the lay of the land.
We can get stuck in the darkness of our grief, eyes-closed, terrified to open them because we don’t know what could be lurking in the shadows. And yet what is there doesn’t change, eyes open or closed.
But how do we gather the strength to open our eyes and face where we are? It helps enormously to know that we are not alone, and that we have some guidance from one who has traversed these woods before.
That’s what this group is offering. A hand to hold. Someone to lead you through the dark woods. A community to walk with you, so that you know you aren’t alone.
