Join us online with Author Meghan Riordan Jarvis, MA, LICSW as we discuss her book End of the Hour: A Therapist’s Memoir.

Meghan’s memoir follows her experience of deteriorating mental health after her father's and mother's deaths in short succession and eventually receiving the same therapeutic support she offers her clients. End of the Hour is a touching story of how unresolved trauma can threaten the security of all that is held dear. During this virtual book club, Meghan will share excerpts from her book, lead an open discussion, and answer questions. This gathering is free and open to adult motherless daughters (ages 19+).

In conjunction with the 2022 St. Paul Art Crawl, the She Climbs Mountains community is invited to an ARTIST TALK with Anne Spooner, who will present an informal talk of her work, with a focus on how her art has helped her with the loss of her mother at a young age.

Please RSVP to Anne at spoonerannem@gmail.com (not required but helpful)

Anne Spooner is a Minnesota artist who has exhibited regionally and nationally. Her current body of intimate paintings examines girlhood and parental loss.

Join us online with Author Peg Conway as we discuss her book The Art of Reassembly: A Memoir of Early Mother Loss & Aftergrief.

Telling our stories is key to the grieving process. Motherless daughter Peg Conway had to dig deep over many years to first feel her loss and then break silence, cultivate self-compassion, and reconnect with her mom’s memory to reassemble hers, a journey that is the focus of her recent memoir. In this virtual program, Peg will offer an opening meditation, present brief remarks, lead discussion of her book, and answer questions. All live attendees will receive a signed bookplate, and a recording will be available. This gathering is free and open to adult motherless daughters (ages 19+).
