In this episode, we welcome Aiden, graduate of the 2023 Dark Woods Grief Tending & Ritual Facilitator Training. Aiden shares how grief work weaves through his life in Edmonton, where he lives as a trans man with his wife Jana, their baby, and their dog. From hosting small grief support groups in their home for the Edmonton queer community, to incorporating emotional awareness into parenting, Aiden demonstrates how grief circles can nourish both personal healing and collective well-being. He is also passionate about Acro Yoga & community building. Queer folks in Edmonton seeking grief support spaces can connect with Aiden on Instagram @flyguy.circus.
