🤍 A Gentle Space for Remembrance & Healing 🤍

On Sunday, October 11, we invite you to join us for a meaningful time of remembrance and healing for those who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss.

The event will include:
🧘‍♀️ Healing meditation led by Asha McMillian
🕯️ Candle-lighting activity
🚶‍♀️ Remembrance walk

This gathering will be held in a soft, light, and supportive environment. There is no expectation that anyone speak, share, or tell their story. Participate in whatever way feels right for you — or simply come and be present.

You do not have to have the right words. You do not have to explain your grief. Come as you are. 🤍

We hope this can be a gentle space to remember, honor, and hold space for the babies who will always be part of our hearts. 🕊️
