Parking is unassigned and fills in the order of arrival, and attendees are asked to be considerate of the restaurant’s regular patrons.

Grief can reshape everyday life, and it does not have to be faced in isolation. This free group, led by a professional, offers a caring place to share, listen, or simply sit with others who know what loss feels like. Whether your experience is recent or from years past, straightforward or tangled, everyone is welcome without any need to prepare or present a certain way. Participants create a circle rooted in presence, gentle reflection, and genuine connection. There is no requirement to speak, no schedule for healing, and no pressure to solve anything... only a setting where you can feel supported and seen. This gathering is open to anyone navigating grief in any form, including the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, shifts in identity, changes in health, or the close of a life chapter.
