Live Gatherings
Rupture & Meaning: A Guided Reflective Gathering
Description:
Some experiences don’t resolve cleanly:
A conversation that never happened.
A relationship that changed without closure.
A rupture that still hums quietly in the body.
This monthly gathering offers a structured, gentle space to sit with what remains unfinished—without fixing, analyzing, or rushing toward insight.
Through guided reflection, quiet writing, and optional shared listening, we practice making meaning without forcing resolution.
This is not group therapy, coaching, or a workshop. It is a facilitated reflective space for adults carrying relational complexity.
This gathering stands on its own. Some participants later seek individual sessions; others do not. There is no expectation either way.
What to expect:
90-minute facilitated session
Small group (maximum 10–12 participants)
Guided reflection and optional sharing
You are never required to speak
Confidential, non-advice-based space
Who this is for:
This gathering may be helpful if you are:
living with unresolved relational tension
processing rupture, estrangement, or ambiguous loss
navigating moral, spiritual, or emotional complexity without easy answers
seeking reflection rather than solutions
What this is not:
This gathering is not:
group therapy
a support group
skills training
a place to be fixed or coached

What participants say
-
Jeannie is such a good group facilitator, because she makes sure that she touches every person and gives them not only an opportunity to share, but by encouraging them quietly to participate. My experience in the group went above and beyond my expectations.

Jeannie creates that kind of space where she allows, encourages, and invites people to just be in whatever form that they are, and she held space for both of those. She makes people feel valued and valid, like they are the most important person in the room in the moment that she’s talking to them. She has a phenomenal capacity of holding community.

This felt safer than many of the safe spaces that I go to because of the limited number of participants, and it was very apparent that I was being held. Jeannie is innately kind. She is skilled in communication, empathy, and is a deep listener. She listens behind the words and checks in to make sure she’s hearing what’s in the heart. She’s also teaching people how to do all of this while modeling it.

Jeannie did a great job of creating a safe environment. I felt very safe with her to tune into and share my deeper personal need. Jeannie expertly managed the tricky balance between structure and spontaneity in creating an effective sharing space within a small community. Everything she said was insightful, and I loved hearing her perspective.

As a writer and speaker, I help people navigate grief, parenting, and personal change. Known for candid, empathetic storytelling, I examines life’s ‘both/and’ experiences—where sorrow meets joy. I create space for shared understanding and growth.
I am a published author and have over ten years of writing and public speaking at conferences, workshops, retreats, and gatherings on the topics of grief and caregiving.
My husband Ben and I have five kids: Felicity (15), Sarah (12), Veronica (8), Joey (7), and Auggie (5). Sarah was born with a rare genetic condition called Apert syndrome that requires keeping up with dozens of specialists, managing multiple complex surgeries and procedures, and maintaining an optimal quality of life. I share my lived experience as a caregiver for her special needs in both my writing and in speaking to others.
