We have been trying to find the words to describe the energy and joy that enveloped our first Joyfully Grieving Create+Connect+Heal event. Whether you were there to support a woman through their journey of grief healing or you yourself are grieving the loss or your child, there was a sacred space for you.
Together 30+ women connected to create 100 ornaments for women across the country to hang on their trees this holiday season. The ornaments contained botanical symbolism for healing and strength. From Juniper, to stardust, to a delicate feather- there was hope, joy and courage gently placed within the glass of each bulb.
I wish I could share the intimate moments of every story, every laugh and every tear shared. The afternoon was priceless and precious in its own magical way.
Thank you to our generous donors and volunteers that gifted us their time and treasures. Mostly, thankful to our board for taking a tiny "idea" and bringing it to life. We cant wait for our next event and hope you will join us to experience it yourself.
We have a handful of ornaments that have been sponsored and are looking for a tree and heart to call their own. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else, please complete the application here
With love and gratitude, the Joyful hearts of the Joyfully Grieving Team
Extra special thanks to Botanical Verbiage for the florals and hosting our space, Weld & Wood Creations for our incredible ornament tags and Renee Evans Photography for capturing the perfect memories.
Thank you for your support
““I was honored and happy to join the Joyfully Grieving Connect event. It was a beautiful afternoon- both in setting and purpose. I felt such a sense of peace as I sat in the grass sipping herbal water, absorbing the breeze, sunshine and good energy from the volunteers around me. Thank you for the opportunity to pause in the middle of a golden desert afternoon to create beauty and just...breathe. It was a day I won’t soon forget. Love & Light, friend.”
