About this Event
In honor of October's Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month, the first Pregnancy Loss Community Circle is being offered to give women a space to remember, connect, and have honest conversation about pregnancy loss.
In today's society we've been conditioned to stay "hush hush" about pregnancy loss and pushed to "get over it" in a timeframe that works for everyone else around us. But grief doesn't work that way. Grief is loud and even when it quiets down, it is constantly lingering and reminding us of what we loss.
This gathering is for the woman who doesn't want to stay quiet about her loss, or simply wants a place where she feels welcomed to be authentic and honest about her grief. You do not have to talk about your loss if you don't want to. Sometimes we may talk about grief, other times we may just want to be around others who understand what we've been through without having to explain.
Since this meeting lands on October 15th's Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, we will end with lighting a (battery operated) candle to honor our babies.
A limited number of seats are reserved for this event to keep the gathering intentional and intimate.
This event will take place at Sozo Coffeehouse in one of their private meeting rooms. Purchse of coffee and treats are at the attendee's own cost. The event is expected to end promptly by 6:15 pm due to subsequent reservations in the room. After event mingling is allowed in the main seating area of the coffeehouse.
Future offerings of the Community Circle planned for the third Thursday of the month:
November 19th 5:00-6:15 pm (location TBD)
December 17th 5:00-6:15 pm (Virtual)
