WE ARE SO BACK: Grief Circle at a Bar Returns to PDX

A Space Where Tears AND Laughter Are Welcome

We are thrilled to announce that our grief circle collaboration with Advice Booth PDX is back—and this time, it's recurring!

Join us at 7 PM on Monday, January 26, 2026 where our fabulous team member Juniper Wong will be hosting the kind of happy hour you didn't know you needed: one where being sad is not only okay, it's the whole point.

WHY WE'RE DOING THIS (AGAIN)

If you're feeling extra "WTF is wrong with life?" right now, you're not alone. This January has already been rough for so many of us. Whether you're navigating a loss, a breakup, loneliness, seasonal depression, or the weight of toxic governmental policies, this space is for you.

After the overwhelming warmth and connection at our first event, we knew we had to make this a regular thing. Mark your calendars: we'll be gathering every 4th Monday of the month to move through our sadness together, share our burdens, and celebrate what's still here.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Let's be real: not all grief spaces are created equal. If too much therapy-speak or overly "woowoo" energy makes you cringe, but you're craving a place to be REAL with your grief and sadness, you've found your people.

This isn't about sitting in silence while one person cries for an hour (though no judgment if that's your jam—there are other amazing grief circles in PDX for that!). This is a facilitated space designed to:

• MOVE the sadness

• SHARE your burdens

• CELEBRATE what's here

• WELCOME both tears AND laughter

• HONOR silence AND oversharing

  
  

Seriously, the kind of people who want to go to a happy hour for sad people are THE WARMEST PEOPLE. Our first gathering proved that.

When: Monday, January 26, 2026 at 7:00 PM
