Making Space When There Is Too Much to Hold
75 Min Zoom Gathering Monday Jan 12th, 2026
I’ve been sitting with the weight of the shooting in Minnesota. And the one that followed in Portland. And everything unfolding in Venezuela, Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, the list goes on.
Not in a way that feels neat or resolved. More in the way that lives in my body. The heaviness. The distraction. The low hum of grief, anger, confusion, or numbness that follows us through the day even when we are trying to focus on something brighter.
It is a lot to carry quietly.
I’ve noticed a familiar impulse to move past it way too quickly. Over intellectualize. Say something “wise”. Or to clamp down and keep going because that is what we are trained to do in this over-optimized capitalist society.
But that isn’t what my system needs right now.
What I’m recognizing instead is the need to pause.
To not hold it all alone, and be with people.
To create an intentional space for whatever this moment is stirring.
That is why I’m hosting a 75 minute Zoom gathering as a space for reflection and processing.
This is not a debate. It is not analysis or problem solving. It is not about fixing anything.
It is about creating a calm, human container where we can slow the fuck down, together. Be with what is here, now and present for us. Grief. Fear. Anger. Tenderness. Fatigue. Or simply not knowing what you feel yet.
Cameras are optional. Speaking is optional.
You do not need to bring the right words.
Confidentiality is part of the container. Presence is the only real requirement.
I’m holding this as a small group, with limited spots, because care and pacing matter. If you choose to join, I ask that you do so with the intention of attending and being part of the space we create together.
This offering is for anyone who feels impacted and could use shared space right now. Especially if you are tired of carrying it quietly or moving on too fast.
If this feels supportive, you are welcome to join.

None of this is meant to be held alone.
I took this picture yesterday, this foggy field covered in snow and sunshine. This world really is SO beautiful.
