Grief & Love: Jewish Healing Wisdom

Join At The Well in partnership with Shomer Collective to explore what grief means and how we can heal together. In this special gathering, featuring a panel discussion, we will unpack the different ways grief shows up in all of our lives and what Jewish wisdom and ritual has to offer us as we navigate the grieving process.

Together, we will:

• Discover the connection between the month of Av, grief, and love
• Reflect on the grief we are each carrying and what we might need as we move with and through it
• Learn from our panelists (listed below) about what healing looks like in the context of grief, how to care for ourselves and each other in this difficult time, and some of the tools we need to do that
• Move through a healing embodiment practice

This welcoming space is open to all, whether you are grieving a person, an experience, a vision for the future, or not sure if you’re grieving at all. Please note that we will name grief, loss, and death explicitly rather than using euphemisms. We encourage you to engage thoughtfully and take care of yourself throughout.

This event will be recorded, so feel free to sign up even if you can't join us live! The recording will be sent out to all registrants following the event.

Each $18 ticket supports the life-changing work of At The Well and allows us to make insightful gatherings like these a sustainable offering. If this cost represents a financial hardship, please email yael@atthewellproject.com.
