SUMMARY:"It's Complicated" Support Group
DESCRIPTION:A monthly peer-led Zoom group for people who had a strained relationship with someone who’s died. It can be tough to be in a group with other folks who were close with their parent\, sibling\, grandparent\, partner\, co-parent\, friend\, etc. As much as I like for there to be a range of experiences represented in grief groups\, so that we can hear diverse perspectives\, sometimes it is nice to be with people who “get it.” When addiction\, mental health challenges\, conflict\, estrangement\, abuse\, etc. were a part of the picture\, it can affect the grief journey in unique ways. This is a space for us.

SUMMARY:Childfree By Choice & Grieving
DESCRIPTION:It’s not a given that everyone who is childfree by choice is 100%\, unabashedly content with the decision. While we may be set in our choice\, there can still be grief there. I know there is for me. It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate\, depressing\, and/or systemic reasons\, and I created this space where we can be with our truths\, and hurts\, around it all. \nOur monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to be a child-loss support group or infertility support group\, although if you have prior experience with infertility and/or pregnancy loss and have since decided to not have children (meaning you are now childfree by choice) feel free to join and see if it’s a good fit.

SUMMARY:Friends Missing Friends: A Gathering for Friend-Loss Grievers
DESCRIPTION:Are you grieving the death of a friend? Do you want to meet and gather with people who GET it? Friend-loss grief is isolating because it’s disenfranchised\, and there are very few resources available. We shouldn’t have to do this alone. Let’s honor our friends\, talk about our grief\, and find comfort in community.

SUMMARY:Grief Walks
DESCRIPTION:FREE TO ATTEND\nThursdays in October 2025\n6PM – 7PM\nRiverdale Park East – meet at St. Matthew’s Clubhouse\n450 Broadview Ave\, Toronto\, ON M4K 2N1\nClosest transit stop: Broadview Ave at Langley Ave-Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital \nJoin Death Doula & Soul Companion\, Adrianna Prosser aka Lady Death Doula\, for an hour long walk with grief\n*in partnership with InTO the Ravines – a Park People and City of Toronto supported event\nAutumn is a season when we embrace death and dying as we watch the leaves turn and the weather change\, and Mother Nature shows us how to die with grace. Each week learn about metabolizing your grief and how sound\, movement\, community\, and storytelling can alleviate symptoms and build capacity for holding your grief. In the final week we will learn about legacy and build a pop-up community memorial together. Come to share your grief aloud\, or come to be quiet and listen to the trees and be with others who understand where you are at in your grief journey. \nOctober 2nd: Storytelling – You are invited to bring a picture of the person\, place\, pet\, or anything that you are grieving. As we walk let’s share who or what they were to us. \nOctober 9: Movement – You are invited to walk in silence\, walk’n’talk\, listen to your earphones… as we walk together holding space for us and allow the trees help us metabolize our grief through shinrin yoku or “forest bathing”. Special guest James Johnson of Reiki with James \nOctober 16: Sound – You are invited to share a song that reminds you of your person\, place\, pet or anything that you are grieving. If you bring a bluetooth capable device to share it with\, a speaker will be made available for us all to hear your song. \nOctober 23: Community – As we walk through our grief\, you are invited to share who or what you have lost and find others in our group to walk with. Walk together even if you walk in silence\, walk’n’talk\, or walk with the trees holding space for your grief. Community helps us reflect and integrate our grief so we do not feel so alone within it. \nOctober 30: Legacy – As we walk through our grief\, you are invited to share how your grief metabolizes into acts of mourning\, ritual\, or legacy projects – things you do now as an act of love for your person\, place\, pet\, or anything you are grieving now. We will create a communal pop-up memorial together. \nThis is a peer-led community walk in public space. Please dress appropriately for the weather\, bring water\, and participate at your own comfort and risk. \nLook for new Griefy Giveaways each week to the first ten people who attend: \nWeek 1: First 10 people will RECEIVE a paperback copy of Aly Bird’s “Grief Ally” an empowering guide gives you solid step-by-step advice on how to support the grief journey \nWeek 2 + 3: First 10 people will RECEIVE an enamel “I am Grieving” pin by Canadian creator Margaux Wosk \nWeek 4: First 10 people will RECEIVE a mini 2×3 frame to start their home memorial to remember their decedent.

SUMMARY:Rest in the Wreckage: A Virtual Wellness Salon
DESCRIPTION:Grief doesn’t wait for the perfect time. It settles in our bones\, arrives unannounced\, and lingers in the quiet. Rest in the Wreckage is a virtual wellness salon for anyone holding sorrow\, sitting with memory\, or simply seeking a place to pause and breathe. \nHeld in honor of National Grief Awareness Day\, this gathering is an invitation to soften\, whether your grief is fresh and aching\, or old and quietly settled. We welcome you as you are\, in whatever season you’re in. \nJoin us for an afternoon of gentle ritual and communal tenderness. We’ll gather not to fix what hurts\, but to tend to it—with care\, with creativity\, and without apology. \nWhat to expect:\nGrounding Meditation – land in your body\, wherever you are.\nStorytelling Circle & Remembrance – share your story\, tell us what’s on your heart.\nThe Grief Mixtape & Song Collection – bring a track or listen in.\nVirtual Altar & Moodboard – co-create a digital altar of memory\, color\, and feeling.

SUMMARY:Childfree By Choice & Grieving
DESCRIPTION:It’s not a given that everyone who is childfree by choice is 100%\, unabashedly content with the decision. While we may be set in our choice\, there can still be grief there. I know there is for me. It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate\, depressing\, and/or systemic reasons\, and I created this space where we can be with our truths\, and hurts\, around it all. \nOur monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to be a child-loss support group or infertility support group\, although if you have prior experience with infertility and/or pregnancy loss and have since decided to not have children (meaning you are now childfree by choice) feel free to join and see if it’s a good fit.

SUMMARY:"It's Complicated" Support Group
DESCRIPTION:A monthly peer-led Zoom group for people who had a strained relationship with someone who’s died. It can be tough to be in a group with other folks who were close with their parent\, sibling\, grandparent\, partner\, co-parent\, friend\, etc. As much as I like for there to be a range of experiences represented in grief groups\, so that we can hear diverse perspectives\, sometimes it is nice to be with people who “get it.” When addiction\, mental health challenges\, conflict\, estrangement\, abuse\, etc. were a part of the picture\, it can affect the grief journey in unique ways. This is a space for us.

SUMMARY:Grief & Tell
DESCRIPTION:Remember the days of Show & Tell in elementary school? That feeling of having the undivided attention of your classmates as you share something that mattered to you? \nWe want to bring that feeling back. \nSo often\, grievers feel like they don’t have the space to continue sharing about the person they’ve lost. It seems like the world has moved on\, and it can feel isolating. We want to be in community with you. \nHere’s how it works: \nThis event is virtual\, free\, and open to everyone. That being said\, you don’t have to share if you don’t want to. You are still welcome to be in community with us. \nIf you DO want to share\, you can sign up on the virtual sign in sheet to reserve your spot. \n((BUT PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO REGISTER )) \nWe invite you to bring something that reminds you of someone you’ve lost. It can be whatever you want. \nShow us what you brought! An object\, an item of clothing\, a poem\, a book- anything! As long as it’s something that brings you comfort\, we would be honored to see it. \nTell us about the significance of the item and the person it reminds you of. \nAt the conclusion of our time together\, we will close out with a gratitude ceremony\, a bit of a Prism tradition. \nWe can’t wait to see what you bring!

SUMMARY:The Last Stitch Society
DESCRIPTION:The Last Stitch Society creates space for the conversations many of us crave but rarely find—about mortality\, grief\, loss\, and how we might live more fully by acknowledging life’s impermanence. \nBring any portable craft project—knitting\, embroidery\, mending\, sketching—and join us as we stitch and share. No experience necessary\, just an openness to authentic connection. Light refreshments provided to nourish both body and conversation. \nIn a culture that often pushes difficult topics into the shadows\, Last Stitch Society offers a warm\, welcoming environment to explore the full spectrum of human experience. Together\, we’ll unravel the threads of meaning that connect us all.
