Support Groups

What to expect

Our group calls are gently guided by a facilitator who’s here to hold space, offer prompts, and keep the conversation flowing. 

Each call follows a simple rhythm:

  1. Welcome and invitation check-in via the chat accompanied by a short breathe-work exercise. Your host at the beginning of each call will walk you through the platform and how to use it safely and appropriately as well as some general code of conduct rules to keep our interaction and time together safe.

  2. Your host will offer a topic or reflection for the session to guide you as group, however your time as a group is not limited to this offered topic and the space is there for you to bring whatever may be on your mind or heart to the group to discuss.

  3. The circle will open for sharing and reflections and contributions to the conversation. This part is of course not mandatory but is encouraged so you can engage and connect with others. We understand that listening is sometimes just as beneficial as listening and where appropriate your host will invite or encourage you as a group to share in a capacity that feels safe and comfortable for you.

  4. The circle will close with a short breathe-work exercise and gentle reminders of aftercare post our call.
