About this Event
Grief in GŪD Community
Grief looks different for everyone. It can come from the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a major life transition, or simply learning to let go of a chapter of life that no longer exists.
Grief in GŪD Community is an intentional gathering created to offer a safe and welcoming space for reflection, creative expression, connection, and healing within community.
Join us at GŪD Essence Jacksonville for an evening centered around slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and creating space for emotions we don’t always have the opportunity to process in everyday life.
Throughout the experience, guests will be invited to participate in different forms of expression and release.
🎤 Open Mic
Our open mic creates space for anyone who feels called to share. This can be a story, poem, song, letter, memory, spoken word piece, or simply a few words about what is on your heart. Sharing is completely optional. You are equally welcome to simply listen and hold space for others.
🎨 Painting & Creative Expression
Guests will have the opportunity to process and express emotions through painting. There is no need to be an artist and no expectation for what you create. Think of the canvas as another way to communicate, reflect, remember, release, or simply be present.
🔔 Sound Bath & Guided Reflection led by Ori Lotus
We’ll slow things down with grounding and guided reflection followed by a restorative sound bath, creating an opportunity to rest, breathe, reconnect, and close the experience intentionally.
🤍 Community Connection
Most importantly, Grief in GŪD Community is about reminding us that we don’t always have to move through difficult seasons alone. There is no expectation to explain your grief, share your story, or participate in every activity. You are encouraged to experience the evening in whatever way feels most comfortable for you.
Whether you are navigating loss, heartbreak, change, transition, or simply feel called to create space for yourself, you are welcome here.
Come as you are. Paint something. Share something. Listen. Reflect. Breathe. Connect.
Take what you need and leave a little lighter.
