Support Groups

We’re thrilled for the return of our Postpartum Support Circles where wisdom and shared experiences remind us we are not alone. Attendees are welcome to bring their infants with them, or join our group solo. Each gathering is open to all who have given birth within the past 18 months.

We always have a topic in mind, however we adapt to the requests of the group. We’ll provide tea for the caregivers, and a baby-friendly room with toys and books on hand for littles. You don’t need to be struggling to join this supportive community.

Abortion Story Portals are facilitated by Christine Anderson, trained abortion doula and abortion support specialist. This group is a space for people to receive non-judgmental, post-abortion emotional support. Each gathering is a confidential space for speaking openly about abortion experiences, free from shame and stigma. Happiness, sadness, grief, anxiety, empowerment, guilt and relief are all common feelings after an abortion. We feel it is necessary to hold a judgement free space outside of political and religious debate where honest stories may be shared. Each group begins with an introduction to the circle, followed by story share and a guided meditation. All who experienced an abortion are invited to this group. You are not alone.

​

We ask that this portal be a container for adults only. 

Next Event: TBD

Join us for a FREE nature walk along the Kal-Haven Trail with community members! This event is geared toward families with kiddos ages 0-2 years old. This is an adult paced walk (steady stroll), and the trail is stroller and baby carrier friendly. Older siblings and partners are always welcome to join.
