GRIEF WEAVING: DEAD MOM CLUB EDITION- SATURDAY MAY 9

If Mother’s Day feels weird, heavy, or straight-up hard—this is for you. Weave something beautiful, feel the feels, and be with our mommas* without the Hallmark bs, with people who get it. This is Grief Weaving: Dead Mom's Club Edition.

A day of weaving and ritual 

to honor our mommas* 

(without being performative), 

To find aliveness in a day that 

can feel heavy, sticky and just hard,

To be present with our grief, our love 

and everything in between through weaving 

We’ll keep our hands busy 

so that our minds find quiet 

And our hearts can soften

And find comfort in shared company.

Reviews

““I took Meirav’s grief weaving workshop after my grandpa died, when I was looking for a gentle, tangible, somatic space to process and feel. Meirav’s workshop was exactly that. She brought a depth of kindness and rootedness to her role as teacher and guide. I felt a sense of genuine safety, as she invited me to grieve and create.”

Brook Chambers

“It was a joy to be with Meirav. She is talented, knowledgeable, intuitive and open. It is obvious that connecting individuals to grief as an experience with meaning, dimension and relevance is a passion...and such important work."

Harriet Zilber

“The workshop with Meirav was heart-opening and mind-opening. The tactile experience of working with clay was both playful and tender. Our conversations were inquisitive and sensitive. I appreciate her work and her intention to allow grief to be a presence in our lives.”
