Coffee Grief Gathering

A FREE MEETUP • IN-PERSON • JHB, SOUTH AFRICA

In-person, over coffee, for those carrying grief from any loss. Join a small circle where you can speak openly, feel heard and experience the relief of not having to explain yourself.

This is not therapy or counselling - this is a free, safe container, facilitated by certified Grief Guide, Kendal Goosen.

You'll leave knowing:

• You're not the only one with complicated feelings.

• You can love and still feel hurt.

• Your grief doesn't need to be justified or explained.

• You don't have to have all the answers.

• There's space for your story, exactly as it is.

What happens at a grief gathering:

• Arrive: Settle in, grab a coffee and take a moment to land.

• Be witnessed: Share what's on your heart. Listening only is welcome too.

• Explore: Hear from others, then explore your feelings, patterns, and inheritance.

• Close: Take a breath, final thoughts and maybe even make a connection.

No judgment | No criticism | No fixing | No explaining | No sharing if you don't want to

This is not an exhaustive list. If it feels like an ending, change or transition to you, it deserves a space to be acknowledged.
