Solo Mother, Sacred Grief
A Healing Circle for BIPOC Mamas Navigating Grief & Sacred Motherhood
You don’t have to be strong here. A space to lay it down. To be witnessed. To be held with care.
Begins
February 19th

6 Spots
Solo Mother, Sacred Grief
is a six-session virtual healing circle for BIPOC solo and single mothers who are navigating the sacred weight of grief while raising children.
This is not therapy.
This is not a support group with surface talk.
This is a spirit-rooted space, held with reverence, tenderness, and truth.
We gather, every other Thursday, to name what often goes unspoken:
The grief of mothering alone
The grief of unmet needs and invisible labor
The grief of who we were before motherhood
The grief of loss—of dreams, of people, of partnership
The grief that lives in our lineage
We come together because our grief deserves to be witnessed, remembered, and restored.
Because you should not have to carry it alone.
Because even the strongest mamas need a place to lay it down.
What You’ll Receive in This Circle
Ritual & Reflection
This space is held with deep intention. Each session includes connection to Egun, gentle grounding, and practices to help you connect with your grief, your truth, and your healing.
Community & Witnessing
You’ll be witnessed with tenderness, not advice. Our circle honors vulnerability, spaciousness, and shared care. Every story is sacred here.
Supportive Tools
From grief journaling to somatic practices, you’ll receive tools that support your healing outside of our sessions for your body, mind, and spirit.
Our Six-Session Journey
-
February 19th. We begin by arriving: inviting Egun, anchoring in our Ori, naming grief. This session grounds the space in sacred witness.
-
March 5th. The weight of the invisible labor and unseen grief. This is the grief of doing it all. Of being unrelieved, unseen, and expected to smile through it. We name the isolation, the unthanked labor, and the quiet ache of being everything to everyone with no one to catch us.
-
March 19th. This week, we give anger a seat at the altar. We honor the rage that is sacred, fierce, and necessary. We explore how grief shows up as fire, how anger protects what’s sacred, and how to meet it without shame. Together, we learn to name what burns and let it become something empowering.
-
April 2nd. This week, we explore the grief that moves through bloodlines, buried stories, and ancestral memory, supported by ritual, remembering, and our guest elder.
-
April 16th. We mother ourselves as we mother our children. This week, we dive into the echoes between our childhood wounds and our parenting now. Tending to the younger parts within us who still long to be held.
-
April 30th. We gather all that has been named, felt, and witnessed. We close the circle in ritual, not to end the work, but to affirm its sacred beginning within us. A blessing is offered. A community formed. A thread is woven.
