What we’re about
Welcome to the Loomis Grief Circle, a compassionate space where we come together to honor and move through our grief. Whether you’re navigating a recent loss or carrying grief from years past, this circle offers a place for shared healing and connection. We believe that grief deserves to be held with care, and that through personal sharing, grounding practices, movement, and breathwork, we can find a way to process and transform our pain.
Our monthly gatherings are based in somatic practices, helping you tune into your body’s innate wisdom to heal and release. No previous experience with movement or breathwork is needed—just bring an open heart and a willingness to be present.
Join us at Santosha Yoga in Loomis on the first Monday of each month at 6:00 pm. Together, we’ll create a sacred space where you can be witnessed in your grief and supported as you find your way through it.
