Mother's Day Grief Gathering

  • Peace of Soul, LLC 912 East Davenport Street Iowa City, IA, 52245 United States (map)

On this day we will honor both the gratitude and the grief that Mother’s Day can bring. This is a space to hold all emotions—without pressure for closure.

We honor:

  • Those who gave life and those who shaped it

  • Anyone who nurtures with love, care, and presence

  • Mothers of children, flora & fauna, communities, and ideas

  • All forms of mothering—seen and unseen, chosen and unexpected

We also make space for grief:

  • Relationships that didn’t meet our needs

  • The loss of mothers or the chance to mother

  • The pain carried for ourselves and for Mother Earth

This gathering offers a simple ritual to honor your experience, time for reflection, sharing, and being witnessed.

Journals will be provided. You’re invited to bring a meaningful item (photo, memento, etc.) for the altar. Hosted & facilitated by Annie Brownsberger. Pay what you can up to $40. Space is limited. RSVP to annmb918@gmail.com. Learn more about Annie at www.peaceofsoul.net
