Groups & Workshops
Center for Compassion offers therapeutic groups and workshops for mindfulness, meditation, grief and loss.
Why a group?
One of the hardest parts of traumatic grief is how isolating it is. The people around you may mean well and still say something that lands as dismissal. You may find yourself managing other people's discomfort about your loss on top of carrying the loss itself.
In a group, that management stops. Everyone in the room already knows. You can say your beloved's name without explaining who they were, and you can be quiet without anyone needing you to be okay.
Our groups are facilitated by licensed providers and are therapeutic rather than purely social — there is structure, skill-building, and a clinician holding the space.
Now enrolling
Offerings change through the year. If nothing here fits, let us know what you're looking for — we build groups around demand.
The kinds of groups we run
Ongoing and time-limited groups for bereaved parents, siblings, spouses, and adults grieving any traumatic death.
Workshops on how grief and trauma live in the nervous system, and practical tools for working with the body.
Guided practice that makes room for grief rather than trying to quiet it — no prior experience needed.
Not sure a group is right?
Groups aren't for everyone, and they're not a replacement for individual therapy. Reach out and we'll help you figure out what would actually help.
