Community Calendar

Story circle is a space for us to come together to share our stories of care. It is a time
for self-reflection to help us navigate our responses to the life events we navigate.

In Story Circle we read and reflect together, respond to brief writing prompts and
engage in conversations that are designed to allow new understanding to emerge and
to strengthen our resilience. We practice the art of listening and witnessing. Using
poetry, contemplative prose and art as the backdrop for our sharing, the tools and
strategies learned are transferrable to personal practice and are proven to decrease
potential burnout and increase our capacity for self-care and compassion.

Who? Story Circle sessions are open to all staff, health care providers, spiritual care
providers, volunteers working in hospice palliative care settings and members of the
community with interest in contemplative practices. Newcomers are most welcome!

When? We meet virtually once per month, generally on the second Monday of the each
month from 7-8:30pm. It is perfectly fine to register even if you don’t expect to be able
to attend every gathering.

Facilitator: Martina Steiger

Please register with [email protected] to be included in our monthly email
invitations.

This informal gathering provides a supportive space once a month to share thoughts, ideas, concerns, questions and experiences about end-of-life, loss, death and dying.

Without a set agenda, this is an engaging way to connect with others in candid conversations to help us live life more fully now. Be mindful that this is not a counseling or grief support group.

This monthly event is open to anyone interested in exploring various aspects of death, dying and end-of-life, all with the view of how to live life fully at any time.

This is an in-person event.

All are welcome; please RSVP below to let us know you will be attending. You will receive meeting info ahead of the event.

If you have questions, please email Alex Allen: [email protected].
