Yes, the grief circles were wonderful and such a refuge! I loved the different exercises, the mixture of teachings and unstructured conversation. Gabrielle validated our shares and the participants held space for one another respectfully and with appreciation.

[The grief circles] ended up being very powerful… I was surprised by my emotions and by my comfort with contributing. Thank you for creating this brave space.

I loved the instruction that you didn't have to find a silver lining, and that any feeling, and absence of feeling (numbness) was welcome, that we could talk about anything, not just about climate and political issues.

Working with Gabrielle has been truly life-changing. She held space for feelings and thoughts I didn't even know were there, and helped me find a connection to the sacred that is now sustaining me on a daily basis.

Her advice and wisdom is so precious, and she welcomed all parts of me and every emotion. Working with Gabrielle helped me find a way back to spirituality, and the journey was full of joy. I could not recommend her enough!

Gabrielle has a gift for generously holding space with you––no matter the direction you may be exploring, or even indirection you may feel like you’re experiencing.

From our first session, I felt a real spark of both safe and sacred connection that was fostered by her curiosity and kindness. Her work is trauma informed, and she uses different practices, like mindfulness meditation and grounding exercises and is open for practices you may want during a session, even agnostic prayer. I feel held across literally thousands of miles through the screen when we have our sessions.

Every time we meet, I feel like a new layer is discovered or unveiled related to my capacity to discover more, experience, and love––in relation to my others, the land and the ground of being. Through her companionship, I’ve been able to explore the spiritual core of my grief and how it really is so entangled with my capacity for joy. I’ve also been able to connect more to the earth and the land in ways that feel so intimate and almost unimaginable to me before.

I feel like the space Gabrielle creates is very special and rare––to be working with someone who is able to help you do this in ways that connect your activism, philosophy, to a grounded practice of spirituality. I would recommend Gabrielle to anyone looking for a safe and beautiful place to explore and deepen meaning and connection in your life.

Talking with Gabrielle was a core part of how I’ve come to articulate my faith and the political commitments it both opens up and demands.

She encouraged me to follow my first glimpses of the ground of unconditional love to their radical conclusions: trust that the work of liberation is happening even through failure. And she guided me into getting out of my head, trust that my thoughts are not holding up reality themselves, and do the work.
