Admitting Grief: Emotional Co-working
Join me for a weekly practice of actually feeling the feels.
The pendulum swings hard for me. I am often either feeling everything and it’s all busting out ~OR~ I am feeling nothing and I have entered: numb mode.
In my line of work, I need healthy and reliable emotional terrain. This means (sigh) a certain amount of discipline when it comes to addressing my inner world.
I have found that intentionally creating environments (time, space, purpose, etc.) that feel safe, boundaried, and supportive is key to honest emotional processing. And, dare I say, that it can even be FUN? ✨
Admitting Grief: Emotional Co-Working is a weekly commitment and a battle-cry for those parts of us that are desperately needing our care and attention.
How it works:
Show up as comfy and resourced as possible. Camera on or off. Your choice.
I channel a few messages or speak to what feels collectively relevant.
Then we all drop into our own feeling portals. That might look like journaling. dancing, staring out the window, screaming, coloring, meditating, crying while you pet your cat. The possibilities are infinite.
We regroup for the last ten minutes to share if we feel called to. Witness or be witnessed. Or both.
Let’s not shove it down. Sometimes accountability looks like a bunch of humans floating around the internet doing inner work at the same time.

Kaleidoscope Crossing
You’re invited to join us for Kaleidoscope Crossing, a live four-week virtual Sacred Circle series guided by Trish and Tessie, your neighborhood death doulas.
Kaleidoscope Crossing is not a pre-written program. It’s a living conversation. Together, we’ll be creating the curriculum in real time, through reflection, dialogue, and soul-centered exploration. Within this container, we will slow down, listen deeply, and become our own death doulas, witnesses and companions to our own inner journeys.
Across four two-hour sessions, we’ll explore themes such as:
Mortality, death philosophy, grief and the ever-changing nature of being human
Safety, fear, shame, and trust within ourselves and others
The art of sacred presence, surrender and self-awareness
Remembering the body as guide, vessel, and truth-teller
Prioritizing the need for community and understanding the beauty of togetherness v. isolation
Come prepared to arrive at each session ready to dive into tender topics, engage in group activities, participate in rituals and explore practices in knowing yourself.
Participants will also be invited into a WhatsApp group to continue connecting and weaving community between sessions.
Session Dates:
Tuesday, 2/10 at 6:30pm–8:30pm PT
Monday, 2/16 at 6:30pm–8:30pm PT
Tuesday, 2/24 at 6:30pm–8:30pm PT
Tuesday, 3/3 at 6:30pm–8:30pm PT
We ask that participants commit to attending at least three of the four sessions live; all sessions will be recorded and accessible throughout the duration of the course.
Suggested Donation: $40-$60 for the full series

Holding Grief: An Embrace From The Land
Event Postponed
Join us at The Moon Sanctuary in Atwater Village for an intimate, two-hour gathering dedicated to honoring grief and anchoring in community. Co-hosted by neighborhood death doula, Tessie Barresi and community herbalist, Seta Avedissian, this event offers a space for those who may feel lost, overwhelmed, or uncertain in their heartache—whether it’s recognized or hidden, recent or deeply rooted. Through the themes of death, grief, community, and the land, you’ll explore the healing potential of nature and the support that comes from connecting with others.
Sit with crafted flower essences and soothing tea blends while being led through a grounding sound journey and guided meditation. The group will courageously dive into contemplating, sharing, witnessing and ritualizing. This immersive experience will provide you with the sensation of being embraced by the land. You are not alone.
Positioned between the election and Indigenous People’s Day, this local event acknowledges the wider societal grief that you may carry—from legacies of displacement, loss, and colonization to fresh emotions of fear and disappointment in our governmental structures and leadership. Here, you’ll explore how to expand your capacity to feel, how to take ownership of your pain, and how to transform it into resiliency, compassion, and fuel for creating a reality you are proud to live in.
Step into a harmonious relationship with the earth as it holds you, grieves with you, and helps you to stay on a path toward healing.
The exact address will be shared in the confirmation email upon ticket purchase.
