1 day until... Finding Light Together: A December Journey Through Grief and Hope

Join us this Saturday, December 14th, from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM at the intimate Blue Door Theater in Culver City for "Catharsis Theater: Grief and Loss Relief." This donation-based gathering creates a sacred space where loss meets light, and heartache finds hope through guided exercises and therapeutic theater. Open to anyone experiencing sudden or anticipated loss, this event offers a chance to transform the weight of grief through the power of shared experience and connection. Register Now

Holding Space in December's Light
As winter's early darkness settles around us and we mark Human Rights Day (12/10), we're reminded that the right to grieve, to be supported, and to heal is as fundamental as any other human right. Like waves that meet the shore in endless rhythm, grief moves through us in its own time - sometimes gentle, sometimes overwhelming, but never truly alone. In these shortened days, we are like individual drops in the vast ocean of shared human experience, held by something far greater than ourselves, moved by the same tides of loss and love. And just as every wave that retreats leaves behind something new on the shore - a shell, a smooth stone, an unexpected treasure - each moment of grief, when shared, carries the possibility of discovery and connection.
