Sweetgrass Sanctuary, along with Village Health Collective, is hosting a special candle light ceremony and gentle yoga session to honor perinatal loss. This free community event is designed to provide connection, healing, and remembrance for those who have experienced the loss of a baby during pregnancy, at birth, or in infancy.

The candle lighting is a symbolic act of commemoration. Participants are invited to light a candle (provided) in memory of their lost child(ren). Accompanied by a moment of silence and reflection. 

A gentle yoga flow will follow, surrounded in the light of our love, to promote healing and peace. This session will include gentle, restorative poses that are suitable for all levels of experience. The focus is on creating a safe, supportive environment for participants to connect with their bodies and their emotions. 

The ceremony will close with tea and sharing circle, where participants can share their experiences and feelings, IF they wish. 

A trauma informed, mental health counselor will accompany the practice and is available for one-on-one support as needed. 

The event is free and has limited spaces so please email Eliza at sweetgrass.postpartum@gmail.com to secure your spot. You will receive a confirmation email with event details reserving your space.
