🖤 Hello tender hearted community! 🖤

Our first Grief Circle of the year will be January 4th at Friendship Hall in the JT Retreat Center. ✨✨

We will all be fresh off the holiday grief train! I feel like everyone I know is swimming in some kind of grief or another. This season really forces us, or if you’re experiencing it more gently, invites us to confront and be with our grief, doesn’t it?

I’m very excited to be in community again with our grief. It’s so much more bearable when we can share it and support each other.

In Grief Circle we honor that grief is a natural response to loss. We don’t aim to “fix” grief nor move past it. We simply honor where we are in our grieving process.

We believe that grief is something to be witnessed and shared. This is what we do in Grief Circle.

There will be some grief education, tools for grief recognition, and time to share and witness grief.

All grief is welcome. All grief is valid. No experience necessary.

This is a free offering. DM me or email me at kara@karahoppe.com

When we start from a foundation of mindful awareness, we have so much more potential to get our needs met and really see each other.

I view mindfulness as a crucial relationship tool to help us slow down, and really strive to understand ourselves and our partner from a compassionate place. 💜

Last weekend I had the privilege of leading a group therapy retreat for people with terminal cancer. It was such an emotional and powerful experience that I'll be unpacking for a long time, and I was able to distill this wisdom from it.

For me, this comes just in time for seeing friends and families over the upcoming holiday season. I hope you get to take something from it too.

We all carry past hurts into our partnerships. By practicing awareness and reflection, we give ourselves the option to engage in a more productive dialogue with ourselves and our partner.

Your feelings are valid and deserve to be attended to, and understanding where it comes from may help your partner depersonalize it in a helpful way so that you guys can be allies in healing the hurt.
