OUR TEAM
Heart-centered.
We see grief as a living, relational practice rather than something to suppress, bypass, or rush. We hold space that is trauma-informed, queer-affirming, and rooted in the belief that healing is collective, never private.
Together, we support individuals and groups through the thresholds of loss and transition — tending grief as both a necessary human practice and a path toward deeper connection, meaning, and joy.
Rebecca Churt (she/her)
Founder · grief guide · end-of-life doula · ritualist
Rebecca founded The Grievery to make space for grief as something communal, not solitary — a sacred threshold to walk together rather than alone. Her approach sits at the intersection of grief and spiritual care, rooted in the conviction that these two are not separate practices but one: to grieve well is a spiritual act, and to tend the soul is always, in some form, a practice of both.
Her work centers on weaving connections across divides and building collective spaces where transformation can take root. As a bridge-builder and community weaver, she collaborates with individuals and organizations to reimagine leadership, healing, and care — recognizing the importance of moving beyond colonial narratives around materialism and modernity, and centering the wisdom of interdependence.
Her practice draws on nearly a decade of formal training: certified death doula (Going With Grace), hospice residency at Lily House in Wellfleet, MA, certifications in trauma-informed care (The Mindsight Institute) and somatic care (The Embody Lab), grief care coaching (Megan Devine), and grief ritual work under Francis Weller. She trained in Hospicing Modernity with Vanessa Machado and completed a contemplative residency at Upaya Zen Center, alongside an MBA from MIT Sloan. She is also a writer of Liminal Space — a Substack blog for navigating the in-between of life's most profound transitions.
Through The Grievery, Rebecca invites others to co-create a space where it's okay to not have all the answers, to not "move on," and instead, to simply be present with what is.
Luna Liebling (they/them)
Grief guide · somatic practitioner · therapist · kohenet · ritualist
Luna's work centers on the belief that the more we can feel our grief, the more we're able to access our joy. They support the Grief Guide Training, and in their private practice work as a group facilitator, therapist, somatic practitioner, Kohenet (Hebrew priestess), clown, and ritualist. They also go by Loon.
Luna believes grief is a necessary practice in this current world, and sits with people grieving the ongoing impacts of climate chaos and systemic harm — moving from grief toward empowerment. They hold that no healing is complete without a commitment to healing our relationship with the earth, the collective, and our ancestors.
Therapeutic — not therapy.
We're dedicated to supporting people as they navigate grief, and we want to be transparent: we are not here as therapists or counselors. Our space is rooted in shared humanity, not clinical intervention. As experienced facilitators with decades of personal and professional experience with grief and end-of-life support, we create a space that honors loss through connection, reflection, and community.
