The Grove

A small circle, gently held

A Grove is a live, online gathering of up to eight people, guided by a trauma-aware facilitator. It's 75 minutes of presence. No pressure to share, and passing is always welcome.

Grief Grove

Grief is love that still longs for somewhere to land. Whether your loss is recent or years old, this is a gentle place to be witnessed without needing to explain, fix or move on. Come exactly as you are.

Every other Wednesday

PTSD/CPTSD Grove

Trauma can make peace feel uncomfortable and connection feel risky. If your body still carries things words can't fully explain, you're welcome here. We make room for grounding, reflection and real connection, without judgment or expectations.

Men's Healing Grove

Many men were taught to be strong and self-sufficient, but not how to be seen or supported. Carrying everything alone may have helped you survive. It doesn't have to be how you keep living. Whether you speak often or simply listen, your presence is enough.

Inside a session

The shape of a Grove

Every Grove follows the same gentle rhythm, so you always know what's coming.

  1. 01

    Arrival

    A short grounding practice to settle the nervous system and mark that we are entering a different kind of space.

  2. 02

    Opening

    The facilitator shares the agreements and guides gentle introductions, so everyone knows what to expect.

  3. 03

    The Grove

    The heart of the session. Prompts tied to the Grove's theme, and space for each person, whether they share or pass.

  4. 04

    Closing

    A closing ritual to integrate what came up and seal the circle before everyone returns to their day.

Groves are for

  • Anyone carrying grief, trauma or something heavy they'd rather not hold alone
  • People integrating big emotional or spiritual experiences
  • Anyone wanting grounded connection in a safe, structured group
  • People who want to feel less alone, without being analyzed

Groves are not

  • Crisis support or emergency care
  • Therapy, advice-giving or coaching
  • A place where you'll be pushed to share or perform

If you're in crisis in the US, please call or text 988. If you're simply unsure whether a Grove is right for you, that's okay. Many people arrive exactly that way.

Our core agreements

Nine promises we make to each other

These are shared at the start of every Grove. They're what make it safe to show up honestly.

  1. We speak from "I," not "you." No advice, no diagnosing, no projecting.
  2. We don't fix or rescue each other. Presence matters more than solutions.
  3. We hold confidentiality with reverence. What's shared here stays here.
  4. We honor consent at all times. No one has to speak or take part beyond their capacity.
  5. We honor silence. Silence is welcome here, not awkward.
  6. We let feelings be feelings. An emotion is not a story, and it is not who you are.
  7. We let go of outcomes. This is not therapy, coaching or self-improvement. It is presence.
  8. We stay inside the circle. No side conversations and no unrequested outreach afterward.
  9. We practice humility. No gurus, no saviors. Every voice matters.
