Growing Through Grief

Healing doesn't happen on a scheduleβ€”and no one should have to navigate grief alone. Growing Through Grief is a welcoming healing group that blends conversation, gentle agriculture, and creative expression to help participants move through grief one step at a time.

Whether you're carrying a recent loss or one from years ago, you'll find a safe space to listen, share, connect, and grow alongside others. You may participate, simply listen, or sit quietly. There is no pressure.
