Holding Space for Grief: Creating Rituals for the Losses We Carry

Facebook Twitter Email Share
February 10, 2026 | 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Eastern Time | Register for this Webinar

In times of profound change and uncertainty, grief shows up in unexpected ways. Beyond the loss of loved ones, we carry grief for friendships that have ended, marriages that have dissolved, jobs that have been lost, and the erosion of our community. We hold fear and worry about the shifting world around us: political turmoil, daily news cycles, and a sense that the ground beneath us keeps moving.

This workshop offers a different approach: What if we didn’t try to fix our grief but instead learned to carry it together? What if ritual could help us make the invisible visible, bringing our personal and shared experiences into the light?

Facilitator

Megan Sheldon is the founder of Be Ceremonial, a platform dedicated to making ritual and ceremony accessible for life’s everyday moments and profound transitions. A Humanist Celebrant, End of Life Doula, and author of Ritual Without Religion: A Humanist Guide to Creating Secular Ceremonies, Megan guides individuals and groups in creating meaningful practices that honor grief, mark change, and foster connection, especially for those seeking ceremony outside of religious traditions. Her work emphasizes that ritual doesn’t need to be complicated or formal; it simply needs to be intentional.

Megan believes deeply in the power of micro-communities and the ripple effects created when we come together to witness and hold space for one another’s experiences. Based in Coast Salish territory (Vancouver, BC), she has spent years teaching people how to craft ceremonies that respond to both personal and collective grief, helping communities discover that what feels heavy in isolation becomes lighter when carried together.
