Inciting Joy: Essays by Ross Gay

What if joy isn’t the absence of pain—but something we build through it?
In this beautiful collection of essays, Ross Gay explores how joy shows up in the middle of grief, care, community, and everyday life. From tending gardens to grieving loved ones, he reminds us that joy is something we practice—especially when we show up for each other.
In a world that often feels divided, this book asks a simple but powerful question:
- What if we focused more on what connects us than what separates us?
Soft, thoughtful, and deeply human—this is the kind of book that stays with you long after the last page.

A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group not a support group or counselling session. Death Cafes are held all over the world. It’s a respectful, life affirming, thought provoking conversation about a topic that is often shied away from.

There is no cost to attend Death Cafe.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.

“When we care for ourselves as our very own beloved - with naps, healthy food, clean sheets, a lovely cup of tea - we can begin to give in wildly generous ways to the world, from abundance.”

Kintsugi Bowl

This experiential workshop utilizes a mediative process through a tangible medium to help develop resiliency and healing in the face of loss, trauma and change. The Kintsugi Bowl is an ancient Japanese healing practice that serves to join back together that which was once broken while showcasing and honouring the breaks. In this workshop, we collectively break our bowl, only to repair it by bringing the pieces we choose back together. This deeply therapeutic and restorative practice serves to garner hope, meaning, and resiliency following loss, trauma, and grief.

Grief isn’t something to fix. It’s something to honour.
In Grieving Is Loving: Compassionate Words for Bearing the Unbearable, Dr. Joanne Cacciatore offers a gentle, powerful truth: grief is not the opposite of love—it is love.

This book is a companion to carry with you throughout your day—to return to in quiet moments, to touch in with when the weight feels too heavy, and to feel supported while bearing the unbearable pain of losing someone you love… whether weeks or years have passed.

In the style of a quote-a-day collection, it distills the wisdom of Bearing the Unbearable into small, accessible pieces—along with new prose and poems from Dr. Jo and other sources—making it especially comforting for a grieving mind that may struggle to focus.

If you love, you will grieve—and nothing is more mysteriously central to becoming fully human.
In a culture that often makes the bereaved feel alone, broken, or pressured to “get over it,” this book offers a loving antidote. Open to any page, and you’ll find words that remind you: you are not alone—while still honouring the full weight of your loss.

For anyone carrying grief, may this be a place to land.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
