On the last Wednesday of each month, from 5 to 6 pm, the West Tisbury library hosts “Living Love: Story and Grief Circle.”
“Living Love” gatherings draw from the talking circle ritual. Hosted by Melissa Knowles and rooted in her own lived experience of loss, this monthly gathering brings people together in small groups to share how love and loss continue to shape their lives — through conversation and creative practices, including journaling and the sharing of photographs and personal items that reflect those they carry.
Participants consider the ways their relationships continue with those who have passed. Between sessions, participants are invited to borrow cameras and join Melissa for photo walks, using photography to notice what feels meaningful, and to bring these reflections back into the circle.
The circle will be held on May 27, June 24, July 29, August 26, and Sept. 30. No signup required; free and open to the public. For more information, please email wt_mail@clamsnet.org.
