Holding Hope in Grief is an act of care and love to our community. These sessions are intended to provide a space to explore grounding practices to regulate your nervous system, as well as a space to build community and discuss concrete ways to foster resilience. While therapeutic, this is not a traditional therapy group and is not a replacement for therapy. Whether you consider yourself a seasoned activist or have felt unsure how to take action as of yet, we invite anyone who wants to work towards building a more just world together.

In healing the scattered parts come together. –Wendell Berry

• We conclude our series with a community quilt-making project. Quilts have been utilized by activists and abolitionists as a form of community building, storytelling, and coded messaging. According to legend, quilts often indicated a safe house along the Underground Railroad when hung in a windowsill. At its center, a quilt is a combination of historical and creative cues in the form of fabrics, shapes, symbols, textures and colors. Quilts were often made to commemorate important family events such as marriage, a birth, or moving to a new place. A quilt is also functional, for “Everyday Use,” and is an offering of warmth and love.
