The Atlanta Grief House at Legacy Park, 500 S Columbia Dr, Decatur, GA 30030, USA

What

Join us at the Atlanta Grief House the Thursday before Father’s Day for a special event!


We know Father’s Day can be a complicated holiday for folks, so we are hosting space for people to write letters to their fathers and/or father-like figures. No matter what kind of relationship you have with your father come have a space to sit, write or chat about it.


This letter writing is an activity to help create space for being with your feelings about the fathers in your life - including our own fatherhood journeys. Anyone attending is welcome to share what they write, share it with their fathers or keep it to themselves. This is a space to have some release before the busy Father’s Day holiday weekend.


There will be materials to add to our living altar space (flowers, beans, pinecones) and you will be welcome to add to that should…
