Room for Grief

Room for Grief are peer-led gatherings on grief, gratitude, and belonging.

Paula Williams holds the space for these peer-led gatherings. Paula is a long-time member of the Northland community having first come to the area in the late ’90s to live and work with the Loaves and Fishes community, then moving to a nearby farm in 2000 where she tried her hand as a flower farmer and hosted gatherings in the big red dairy barn. Motherhood settled her in to life in the country, until she moved back to Duluth in 2024. Paula has worked as a life coach for over 20 years, pivoting to therapy in May. She has been imagining this kind of monthly grief gathering for years and is grateful to Halcyon House for the opportunity to gather in its unique space.

Participants are welcome to bring something to add to the altar that represents their experience of grief.

Organizers request that attendees pre-register, so that they can plan better for the size of the group.
