Weave in Ends Coaching Circle for Well-tended Endings
Are you ready to resolve unfinished business and release the limiting belief that there will always be more time? Are you ready to say Yes! to what matters most and reclaim your capacity for present-centered living?
Weave in Ends Coaching Circle for Well-tended Endings is a seven-session, virtual program that invites adults of all ages and in all stages of living and dying, into deep conversation and practice with death and endings so we can grow our capacity and resources to move through all parts of lifecycles, especially endings, honorably – with intention and integrity.
Deep consideration and awareness of death and endings open us up to a sort of magic, capable of stripping away all that is distracting, peripheral, and beyond our control while bringing to the center of consciousness all that remains raw, incomplete or out of alignment with our core values named and unnamed.
Over seven virtual sessions we will:
- enter brave space together and engage with patterns of overwhelm, inaction, and avoidance around the topics of death and endings
- turn towards death and endings with curiosity, deep listening and willingness to respond,
- choose an ending we'd like to explore (i.e. end of life, end of a relationship, end of a job) in the next three months
- create a holistic restorative action plan that specifies how we will move to and through that ending with intention and alignment with our values,
- practice taking our next right steps in community, celebrating our efforts, and responding as our plans unfold in real time, and
- encourage each other toward relief and restoration along the way.
This group is facilitated by artist and healer, Lisa Cheney-Philp.

Grief in Relief Therapeutic Processing and Artmaking Circle
Grief in Relief is an eight-week, in-person program that invites a small circle of participants into a series of embodied conversations and creative practices to explore and move grief so we can grow our capacity and confidence to well-tend experiences of loss with ourselves and with others. Each session includes facilitated discussion and guided artmaking.
Grief and loss taking infinite forms, and all are welcome in this circle.
Over eight in-person sessions we will:
- learn and unlearn about the nature of grief and loss, drawing upon creativity, intuition, and nature for inspiration
- explore the ways we carry grief in our bodies – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually;
- move grief like a river using expressive arts - creative writing, journaling, music, movement, artmaking and more; and
- practice truth-telling and deep listening
Upon completing this course, you will be able to say with increased confidence:
- My relationships with grief and loss are expansive and deep.
- I acknowledge, honor, and move grief creatively and with ease.
- I trust in my ability to meet others in their grief and loss experiences in ways that are mutually supportive.
- I have capacity for joy, vulnerability, connection, and resilience.
If you are ripe for this kind of transformative work for yourself and your community, I do hope you’ll consider stepping in with us.
This group is facilitated by therapist, Caroline Fraase, and artist and healer, Lisa Cheney-Philp.
Please note: All of the experiential activities offered in this program will be guided. No prior experience is necessary and participation is always a choice, not a requirement.
