Support Groups
Grief & Care Under Capitalism Support Group: Register Here This support group is for people needing a space to talk with other folks who feel exploited and exhausted by capitalism. Most grief support groups are death-related, so the folx at A Sacred Passing decided to offer a space to grieve the other ways in which we struggle.
The Grief & Care Under Capitalism Support Group is a facilitated space with conversation directed by participants, offered virtually via Zoom on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month. The group is free, though donations to A Sacred Passing are always welcomed. This is a drop-in group, so you can join the group once or several times, with no need to commit to multiple sessions.
