Community Grief Tending - meet in sanctuary
This is a set space and time to bring what is weighing on your heart. You do not hold this alone. We honor the experiences of life and meet each other as sacred witnesses.
We are here to support your transformation into an expanded capacity to stay whole, present, and embodied in the midst of heaviness.
We will learn more ways of grieving through guided breath, voice, movement, writing and song practices. We will create and agree to a set of guidelines that will support our time together. There is no right or wrong way to grieve.
Reserve your spot with our reservation link. Led by Hannah Wheston.

About the hosts: Hannah Whetston is a grief tender, spirit tender, and body tender. She holds space for those in the midst of transition in one-on-one and small group sessions that combine prayer and bodywork. She was introduced to community ritual immersion in 2021, working with the late Dagara elder, Malidoma Somé. Hannah completed An Apprenticeship with Sorrow: Community Grief Leadership Training with Francis Weller in 2023. She has a deep love of creating ceremony and ritual.
Kelsey Taylor is a psychotherapist and grief tender who supports others in meeting and alchemizing the burdens and grief they carry from their own lives and the lives that came before them. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), she guides people toward accessing Resource, cultivating compassionate connection with the parts of themselves that carry pain, and making space for what has been held too long. Kelsey was introduced to community grief ritual in 2024 and is a Certified Level 3 IFS Therapist. She is deeply drawn to the ways ritual can help us honor grief, reconnect with what matters, and remember that we do not have to carry our sorrow alone.
