Would you like a grief support group just for your community or organization?
Mindful Grief Support Groups offer MCCG-based support for those grieving a loss. Meetings integrate mindfulness and compassion practices with shared reflection and support. Participants gain insights and tools to navigate grief with greater awareness, resilience, and connection.
Don’t see your type of grief listed? Get on the Wait List for other groups:
““I felt really heard for the first time. I’ve been to many support groups but this is the first time it felt like I wasn’t being judged.””
““In the midst of my grief, I was held with grace, understanding and kindness. I could not recommend Yasemin enough.””
This is not therapy. Not a course. Not a drop-in group.
This is a sanctuary for your grief.
“This helped me understand that I wasn’t broken. I was grieving. And grieving takes time, space, and gentleness.”
— Participant, Spouse Loss Group
Created by a grief and mindfulness expert with lived experience + grief-specific training
Guided, not peer-led — real structure and trauma-informed care
Rooted in evidence-based grief research, mindfulness, and compassion
Inclusive, non-judgmental, and spiritually neutral
Offers more than sharing: tools, space, insight, and presence
You don’t have to get over your grief.
You can learn to carry your grief with more peace, compassion, and support.
This isn’t about letting go.
It’s about holding on in a new way, with steadiness, breath, and community.
“I didn’t know I needed this until I was in it. It didn’t take the grief away, but it gave me room to breathe.”
— Participant
Grief doesn’t go away.
But how you carry it, and how it carries you, can shift.
These groups are here to help you:
Feel more grounded when everything feels too much
Be with others who truly understand, no fixing, no pressure
Build your capacity to meet waves of emotion with care
Find language, practices, and space for the parts that feel unspeakable
Connect with your grief, gently, without being overwhelmed by it
🌿 The Original Mindful Grief Circles
These groups began as the original Mindful Grief Circles — small, mindful and heart-based healing spaces I created over a decade ago for people like you who are grieving and want something more than just “talking about it.”
Over time, they’ve evolved into something deeper and more structured, informed by:
Grief research from my Master’s and current doctoral work
Western and Eastern psychology
12+ years of supporting thousands of grieving people
Personal experiences of profound loss
Certifications in thanatology, mindfulness, end-of-life care, and compassion training
Volunteering in hospice and working across corporate, academic, and clinical-adjacent settings
What hasn’t changed is the intention:
A safe, sacred space where your grief is welcome exactly as it is.
What Sets This Apart
Rooted in Evidence-Based Research
grounded in grief research, mindfulness techniques, and compassion-based approaches that help you build resilience and find peace after loss.
Compassionate Support
compassionate guidance from someone who’s been through it, offering you a safe, understanding space where your grief is honored.
Guided, Not Peer-Led
facilitated by a trained expert, with real structure and trauma-informed care, ensuring that you get the support and tools you need.
Non-Judgmental & Inclusive
honors every individual’s grief, with respect and support for your unique journey.
More Than Sharing
more than just talking about your grief. You will learn tools, gain insights, be in community, all designed to help you feel empowered and more at peace.
Trauma-Informed & Peaceful
built with a trauma-informed mindset, offering a gentle, patient approach to grief. Feel held, heard, and supported in this peaceful sanctuary for your grief.
Not Therapy, Not a Course
This isn’t therapy, nor is it a structured course. It’s a safe space, where you’ll be guided through your grief in community.
Facilitated by Lived Experience + Professional Expertise
It’s rooted in both personal and professional experience that gives you a safe, knowledgeable space for healing.
“This helped me understand that I wasn’t broken. I was grieving. And grieving takes time, space, and gentleness.”
