A Creative-Arts Grief & Loss Support Group for Adults

This group is a healing space to share and process your grief. All types of loss are welcome. Drawing from the creative arts, drama therapy, ritual, and somatic practices, this group offers a unique alternative to healing that privileges authentic expression.

Often, there aren’t enough words to describe our grief. Traversing the landscape of grief using creative arts can give form to our experience of loss and invite us to deeply witness and commune with our grief. In this group, you are invited to explore your unique expression of grief through various creative modalities including creative writing, role playing the parts of grief, storytelling, and art making.

Join this group to find more freedom in your expression and experience of grief!

Timing

We will meet in person on Tuesdays from 7:00-9:00pm for six weeks. Start Date goal is July 9th, 2024.
This date is subject to change depending on enrollment! The group will begin when the group is full.

Fee

$390 - Private Pay
Sliding scale may be available upon request.

Payment may be paid in full or in weekly installments.

As part of a commitment to make therapy more accessible, a limited number sliding-scale spots are available. In the case you have a financial need for sliding-scale, please inquire about sliding-scale availability.

Logistics

Although no two person’s grief is the same, I invite people with all types of loss to join this group. Pain cannot be ranked, placed on a hierarchy, or invalidated by the suffering of another. Grief is unique and grief is universal. There is wisdom, healing, and courage in shared grief.

A 15-minute consultation call is required for participation. This call gives you a chance to share with Virg a bit about your grief and ask any questions you may have about the group.
