The Gathering Room

Support Group
My Divorce Guide
Books and Literature | Interactive Session

Divorce and separation don't end when the papers do. There's the decision itself. The legal process. And then everything after it: the parenting schedule you're renegotiating, the finances you're untangling, the boundaries you're still learning how to hold.

Somewhere in all of it, a story tends to settle in: that this is a failure, that it has to get ugly, that there's a "right" way to grieve or move on.

This session starts from a different premise. A relationship changing shape isn't a verdict on you, and it doesn't have to look like a battle to be real.

This afternoon is for all of you, mid-decision, past it, or still arriving.

The Format

This isn't a talk or a lecture.

Expect movement, a few structured group activities done in pairs or as a full group, and space throughout to simply notice where you are. No performance, no scripts, nothing to prepare.

What to Expect

Arrival

Come whenever you're ready. No forms to fill, no small talk required, and nothing you owe anyone an explanation for.

Opening Circle

Seema, who's facilitating the session, will say a quick hello and walk you through how the afternoon unfolds, including what happens inside the activities. If you feel like sharing a word about why you're here, you can. If you'd rather just listen, that's completely fine too.

The Heart of the Session

This is the main part of the afternoon: some movement, a few activities done in pairs or as a group, and quieter moments in between just to notice how you're feeling. Nobody's asking you to talk if you don't want to. Nobody's asking you to perform, either.

Coming Back Together

Before we close, we'll gather again as a full group, just to sit with whatever came up. Sharing a reflection or a small gesture is welcome.

Closing

You might leave with a bit more clarity. You might leave without having said a single word, and still feel a little less alone. Either way is exactly right.

This is the first of what we hope becomes a monthly gathering.

What's not included

Anything from Atta Galatta's bookstore or café- that one's on you (though we'd happily recommend a coffee on your way out)
