What We Believe
Shame Dies in the Light
People need space to talk about their grief without guilt, shame, or feeling like a burden to “non-griever.”
Movement Heals
Connecting with our bodies helps us to release the trauma that our body is holding onto. Because our body really does “keep the score.” (If you know, you know)
✧ The Girls That Get It, Get It ✧
Grief heals in community and it’s important to know you are not alone, that you are not “crazy”, and that there are certain things unique to this experience that only those who have walked this path can understand.

Grief, Growth & Girlhood:
A conversation with The Girls who Grieve
“Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”
