Second Sunday Circle – Honoring the Weight of Grief

with Linda Hollis PhD

October 11th from 2:00 to 3:45

$40, no cost for Sol Members *registration is required for all

This month’s Second Sunday Circle turns toward grief, honoring it as an experience that touches the whole of us. Grief is not only emotional. It can settle into the body, the breath, and the deeper layers of our being, sometimes long after the mind has tried to understand it. This session offers a compassionate space to meet grief through gentle movement, breathwork, sound, and quiet reflection.

The intention is not to resolve anything. Instead, we make room for what is present. Each person is invited to move at their own pace through accessible practices that support release, grounding, and self-kindness. As with every Second Sunday Circle, the format is experiential. Guided movement is woven with stillness and shared reflection, held in a warm and welcoming environment.

You are welcome whether you are grieving the death of someone dear, the end of a relationship, a change in health, a shift in identity, or any other meaningful loss. No yoga background is needed. Simply come as you are and participate in the way that feels right for you that day.
