Emily’s work as a group facilitator focuses primarily on the needs of women and parents. Modern American culture is unsupportive of mothers and unkind to children, which creates all kinds of barriers to living a joyful life. Her conversation group and grief circle MAIDEN FUNERAL addresses the gaps in emotional support for birthing people and meets several times a year in Brooklyn, NY.
