Maybe it’s the loss of a loved one, relationship, pet, job, role, identity, dream, country, community, sense of safety, feeling political rage, or just need to be in community.
This Circle is held by four experienced Circle Process Facilitators grounded in trauma-informed, somatic-based approaches to healing. We bring compassionate presence, skilled guidance, and deep respect for the vulnerability and courage that grief asks of each of us. |
How it Works
Stressful circumstances shake our confidence and sense of control.
This is a transformative 90 minute event powered by Circle Process. You will always be in charge of your own experience and level of participation. After our opening, we meet in small groups with a professional circle facilitator in each breakout room, where we take turns sharing (if and when we want) with no judgment, processing or feedback. Grief heals when it's witnessed, not in isolation.

Erin Wright RN, CPCC, PCC
My work in grief and end-of-life care began with a loss that changed my life. When I was 22, my best friend was killed in an accident, and I entered a long period of isolation searching for a way to live with grief rather than push it away. I became painfully aware I didn’t have people who knew how to support me. Most wanted me to “feel better,” and some became frustrated that my grief was taking too long, only deepening my isolation. I now know grief cannot heal in isolation. Over time, that heartbreak became a doorway. I found support, teachers, and a calling: helping others navigate death and grief so they don’t have to do it alone. For more than 30 years, I’ve served as a hospice nurse, death doula, grief educator, and professional coach. My work blends decades of bedside experience with coaching to help individuals and families explore the emotional, spiritual, and practical realities of dying and grieving. My grief journey led me from isolation to community. Today, I help create those communities - spaces where coaches, death doulas, spiritual healers, healthcare professionals, and other helpers can learn to bring trauma sensitivity, presence, and grounded compassion into their work. This isn’t just my profession. It’s a mission born from loss and shaped by a deep belief in what becomes possible when we learn to die and grieve well. |

Howard Stanten, CPCC, PCC, ORSC Trained, Certified RIM Facilitator
I’ve spent much of my life learning how to love, grieve, and lead from a deeper, more honest place. My healing journey began long before I ever became a coach. At 28, my mother died by suicide—a loss that left me shut down and carrying anger in a locked box deep inside me. Years later, through shamanic healing work, I finally unlocked that box. What I found was a much larger capacity to love and be loved. That experience reshaped everything. Today, I’m a leadership coach and coach trainer on the faculty of the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI). My work centers on supporting brave leaders and coaches at the intersection of leadership, coaching and emotional healing. This work includes designing and co-facilitating experiential trainings and retreats that help coaches, leaders, and healers become more resourced and confident as they support others through grief and loss. My commitment to helping others transform the acute—and sometimes stuck—pain of grief and loss into a more grounded sense of meaning and purpose comes from lived experience: when we turn toward our grief, we return to what matters most. This work continues to shape the person—and the coach—I am and am becoming. |

Leigh Ann (L.A.) Roberts, JD, PCC, End of Life Doula and Family/Team Facilitator
“I’m grieving as fast as I can” says a sticky note on my computer monitor since my Mom’s death. I have experienced profound moments of support and healing tending grief in my life and, because reciprocity often flows from healing, I now companion with others in these kinds of destabilizing processes. As a somatic (body-based) coach and facilitator, I sit with people and groups who are encountering “liminal” spaces- whether that is due to great change, perspective shifts, diagnoses, death, or even to grow together intentionally. As a facilitator of integration conversations intended to support meaning-making around these big life (and death) experiences, I am supported by many lineages and ethics. I am a spiritual emergence/emergency coach and have years of practice in harm reduction with individuals and groups in psychedelic communities and clinical trials. I believe in the autonomy of the seeker, and the importance of self-determination at these critical points. I also believe in the powerful impact of being witnessed in community and relationship- and how this work can help us metabolize even generations of hurt with authentic belonging. At Thresholding, I provide coaching, facilitation, end of life support and initiatory experiences for those seeking skillful companionship during times of great change. We gather monthly in community to do this important, but often neglected, work of integration. When you find yourself at a threshold, know you don’t have to go through these rites of passage alone. |

Michael J Kline, The Enoughness Guy, Master RIM Facilitator, Certified Grief Coach
I love sharing inner transformation work with coaches, therapists and healers. I was born the 11th of 12 children living in poverty on my abusive alcoholic father’s junkyard. And... I’ve been working on my enoughness since before I was born. At 59 years old, during a plant medicine journey, I went into the memory of being an unwanted pregnancy and had a loving and healing dialogue with the spirit of my mother, who died when I was 7. Today, I know I am worthy and I’ve transformed my relationship with my generational and childhood trauma. I’ve tried everything from meditation to psychedelics and an endless pursuit of certifications including Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM). In over ten years at the RIM Institute I’ve trained hundreds of coaches and therapists in the RIM technique to work with trauma. Today, as a Jack Canfield Senior Trainer, Master RIM Facilitator, Certified Grief Coach, retreat host, and TEDx speaker, my passion lies in finding beautiful ways to help professionals heal their own core trauma and grief to work more deeply and authentically with their own clients. |
