If you need support please reach out, I am still here, just pausing the weekly Campfire Zoom gatherings while I work on other projects and updates. Thanks for your prayers!

Relaxed Yet Important Guidelines for “Grief Campfires”

So what is a grief campfire?

By design my Grief Campfires are influenced by my faith in Yeshua and guided by the bible verse, Job 2:13. My desire is to create, hold and offer space and permission for people to experience and feel their grief with no expectations.

So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great. ~Job 2:13 NKJV

A Grief Campfire is 15-20 minutes of silent friendship in a virtual setting with only the host sharing using video and audio to welcome everyone, a brief reading may be offered for reflection and closing. In the time together in between all video and audio will be turned off.

All sessions are free and you are always invited to attend.

Here’s the Zoom link information:

Two times are offered every Thursday at 9:30am or 10:00am Pacific Time (US and Canada). The sessions are the same so you can attend the time that works best for you, or both!

What can you expect during our short, yet powerful time together?

  • We share 15-20 minutes of silence.
  • We step out of the frenzy of the world.
  • We remember and reflect on our loss(‘s).
  • We ask God simple questions if led to do so.
  • We listen for answers in God’s still small voice.
  • We give each other permission to feel our grief.
  • We hold space for each other and our memories.
  • We come away knowing that we are not alone in our grief.

You are always welcome no matter the cause of grief be it related,

  • to a death,
  • the loss of a dream,
  • a relationship ending,
  • the state of our world,
  • or even the trade-off of one wonderful option for another.

The silence allows participants to make the space whatever they need it to be, and to avoid any situations like unplanned group “therapy.” The short time also makes them more accessible, even people at work may attend a Campfire during a break.

  • I emphasize they are silent spaces of shared togetherness.
  • You are not required nor expected to turn on your camera or to speak.
A blazing campfire!

Mark your calendar now.

You are worth 15 minutes!

Your grief is always welcome.

Again, only my camera and audio will be utilized, so come as you are.

I pray you will join in and find space for yourself, because you matter and your grief matters.

~God bless, Mark
