“Soft Sundays”
A Virtual Healing Circle for Navigating the Heaviest of Seasons
Sundays: November 16th, 30th & December 15th
10:30A to 12P ET
As the days get shorter and the world feels heavier, many of us are carrying quiet exhaustion.
Between the emotional weight of current events, family dynamics and rising costs, so many are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and just need a moment to slow down. But those moments of stillness are hard to come by in a society that requires you keep moving.
Just know that you are not alone; but the isolation and division present in our environment can make you feel that you are.
The reality is: We need community healing spaces more than ever, especially at a time like this.
“Soft Sundays” is the Community Healing Space You Didn’t Know You Needed.
💜 Soft Sundays Is For You If…
The holiday season stirs mixed emotions; part joy, part grief, part “I just need a break.”
You’ve noticed old wounds or family patterns resurfacing and want to handle them differently this year.
You’re feeling stretched thin from being the “strong” or “healed” one when in reality, you are running on empty.
You are managing your mental health individually but could benefit from a community environment that models clear boundaries and safety to just be.
You need to be around others who are doing the work so you can stay motivated, inspired and hopeful.
💗 What to Expect Each Session
Every gathering follows a gentle, predictable rhythm to create a sense of safety and trust:
🎵 We start with culturally relevant music & mindfulness activities to set the healing container.
📜 We go over our group agreements & healing pillars to establish safety, compassion, and trust.
🪞 We connect to our inner children/family and our emotional selves using creative outlets (writing, reading, music, etc.)
💬 We invite you to share from your heart, or simply listen: no feedback or crosstalk unless requested so you feel accepted as you are.
🕯️ We end with a Self-Commitment Ritual & pulling of a G.E.M. Card so you can continue the work between our meetings.
Through this three-part journey, you’ll begin to find grounded calm in the midst of chaos, learning to steady your body and soothe overwhelm even when life feels uncertain. You’ll experience the relief of not having to hold it all alone, discovering what it’s like to be supported and seen in a community that understands your story. You’ll gain the freedom to rest and set boundaries without guilt, and release the pressure to prove your worth through over-doing. And most importantly, you’ll leave with a renewed sense of peace and self-trust — remembering that your emotions are sacred messengers, and that softness has always been a form of strength.
What You’ll Walk Away With:
Schedule and Topics
-
Set a foundation of calm as we move into a more chaotic time of year. You’ll learn how to find stability inside your physical body and your mind by identifying your primary stressors, creating an internal safe space, and connecting to the calm part of yourself that will keep you grounded using IFS exercises.
-
Be more equipped to set external and internal boundaries without guilt. You’ll practice saying “no” without losing connection, and learn how anger is an invitation to keep the commitments you make to yourself, and give consequences without shame.
-
Participate in an unburdening ritual which allow you to release beliefs, people or places that no longer serve you. Go into the new year more confident, courageous, and internally peaceful.
FAQs
How much do the sessions cost?
💰 $40 per session, or $99 for all three sessions. You can come to one or all three! (If cost is a barrier, please email alexia@thedivineperseverance.com).
I am nervous about being in a group.
That’s completely okay. Most people feel that way at first. Soft Sundays is built for safety and choice. You can share as much or as little as you like, and simply being present is enough.
What’s important to remember is that isolation and separation is part of how those in power keep us tired, overworked, and unwell. Healing in community is part of our birthright, and can be an amazing source of strength if we can get our souls to remember its medicine.
What are the dates and times?
Sundays, November 16th, 30,th and December 14, 10:30A to 12P ET. All sessions will occur on Zoom.
How do you cultivate a safe space for us to feel comfortable?
I believe safety is something we build together. Each Soft Sundays circle follows the same rhythm so you know what to expect. We set clear agreements, and you always have choice in how you show up and share. Cameras are on at the start so we can see who’s present, but you’re free to turn yours off afterward or use an alias if that feels safer. And as always — what’s shared here, stays here.
How many people are in the group?
We will have a max group of 20 people, although on average, groups run at about 6 to 8 people at a time.
Who is this group best suited for?
Soft Sundays is open to anyone seeking a gentle, trauma-informed community space — especially those navigating overwhelm, burnout, or the weight of the season. The circles center compassion and cultural awareness, with a focus on supporting marginalized and highly sensitive folks. We prioritize making this a safe space for Black, BIPOC, LGBTQ, women and/or femmes, disabled and neurodivergent folks.
