A Live 90-Minute Grief Circle
You Don't Have to Carry Your Grief Alone
A safe and supportive space where men and women gather to receive elemental alchemy and somatic practices that expand your capacity to be with grief and loss, gently, at your own pace.
Grief Lives in the Body
Loss changes everything. Healing starts with feeling safe again.
Maybe you lost someone you love. Maybe a relationship ended, or the career you built suddenly shifted. Whatever the loss, grief doesn't just live in your thoughts — it settles into your chest, your breath, your sleep, and your nervous system.
You may be holding it together on the outside while feeling numb, exhausted, or overwhelmed on the inside. The Grief Circle offers a different way: not to fix or rush your grief, but to create enough safety in your body to finally be with it.
Guided by Cristina Afonso, Certified Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach and Embodied IChing Practitioner.
What You'll Experience in the Circle
90 minutes of grounded, trauma-informed support rooted in somatic practices and elemental alchemy.
Somatic Grounding
Gentle body-based practices that help settle your nervous system, so grief can move through you instead of getting stuck.
Elemental Alchemy
Receive elemental alchemy that honors the natural cycles of loss and renewal, helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom.
Supportive Community
Sit alongside others who understand. Share as much or as little as you like, in a space free of judgment or pressure.

Your Grief Deserves a Safe Place to Land
There's no right way to grieve and no timeline you have to follow. Come as you are. Breathe. Be held. Let your body remember that it can feel and still be okay.
