About This Meet-Up
Just over 1 yr ago, the Eaton Fire ravaged our land, destroying and negatively impacting homes and lives. Therapists in the San Gabriel Valley have served on the front lines tending to those who suffered devastating losses in the Eaton Fire. Many of those therapists lost their own homes or were displaced as well. Dealing with one’s own grief while meeting the raw, emotional grief of clients, often takes place at the expense of healing one’s own needs. How have you been coping with this enormous load?
Many of us haven’t felt comfortable joining established grief groups or community gatherings for fear of sharing our vulnerabilities in front of clients who might also be there. As such, our own grief weighs heavy inside our hearts; we feel alone and unsupported.
On Sunday, March 8th, SGV-CAMFT will host a free gathering to address healing the healers. We are inviting all therapists impacted by the Eaton Fire to join CB Trepashko, Kathryn Bikle, and Shana Pallotta for a grief and loss healing and support ceremony specifically to address therapists’ grief. This grief processing opportunity is open to all therapists who lost their homes, were displaced, or personally impacted by the Eaton Fire. Together we will explore our grief, tend to our wounded hearts, and look to begin our own healing journey supported by ritual, ceremony, sound bath, art, and each other.
Admission is FREE. Registration is required. This is a personal workshop, no CE credits will be provided. Open to all Therapists in the SGV who were impacted by the Eaton Fire by losing their home, being displaced, or having been personally impacted by the Eaton Fire on Jan 7, 2025.
We look forward to seeing you there! Registration closes March 6, 2026.
