Camille Barton, author of Tending Grief— Embodied Rituals for Holding Our Sorrow and Growing Cultures of Care in Community will lead us through applying these practices to the process of growing our families as queer folks and solo parents.
Deeply practical and easy to use in times of confusion, trauma, and pain, Tending Grief includes rituals, reflection prompts, and exercises that help us process and metabolize our grief—without bypassing or pushing aside what comes to the fore. Camille will include exercises that can be done both alone and in community, and support folks through the many layers of grief that arise while TTC, pregnant, postpartum, and parenting
