Bring The Mending Word to your community!
The Mending Word is now available for in-person workshops. While similar to the virtual group, there is the added benefit of interacting in a live setting. These sessions begin with the group exploring the prompt together, separating to write individually, and then rejoining for a guided discussion with room for sharing.
Hi, I’m Michal
The Mending Word was created shortly after I experienced the loss of my mother and father within two years. In the early days of my grieving, I yearned to find a place where I could write about my thoughts and share them freely with fellow grievers who understood. When I did not find a community, I decided to start one myself. I built this space for people who are looking to connect in a raw and honest way – ugly tears and dark humor welcome. If you’re ready to embrace your grief and hold space for others’, while forming beautiful connections with brave humans, I invite you to join The Mending Word Community.
“ If I had not fallen, I would not have picked myself up,
If I did not sit in darkness, I would not have seen the light.”
-Orchot Tzadikim, Shaar Hateshuvah, Shaar 26.
