Community Nights & Gatherings | Oshun Griot
Community

Come sit with us

We gather in person. Conversation, a wellness experience, food, and time to be around people who already understand. Therapists in the room, not always leading it.

What we host

Community nights
Jersey City

An evening for people in treatment, after loss, or deciding what comes next. A therapist opens the conversation, then it belongs to the room. We make something with our hands, we eat, nobody has to explain their situation from scratch.

Holiday Healing
Seasonal

The hardest table of the year, and the weeks around it. A gathering built for the questions relatives ask, the announcements that land over dinner, and the particular grief of an empty chair.

Taboo convos
A series

The conversations our families, churches, and clinics skip. First up was Faith and Fertility: for people whose religious communities have not known what to say. What prayer sounds like in year four, what “God’s timing” does to a person, and how faith and treatment sit together.

Screenings
With partners

We bring Letting Go and works in progress to campuses, clinics, and cultural spaces, with a conversation after. Host one with us.
