Question 1

Who is this group for?

Accepted Answer

This group is for anyone who is grieving the death of a loved one—whether the loss is recent or many years in the past. We welcome caregivers, family members, and anyone navigating grief related to death or dying.

Question 2

What happens during a group session?

Accepted Answer

Each session includes time to settle in, intros and group guidelines. Typically, we will then offer a psychoeducation skill, technique or topic. We will then allow space for discussion between members.  We will then close with a grounding exercise to allow a transition from the group to the world.

Question 3

Do I have to talk or share my story?

Accepted Answer

Nope. Sharing is completely optional. You are welcome to simply listen and be present. This group is about holding space—not pressure.

Question 4

What should I wear or bring?

Accepted Answer

Since we’ll be outside, please dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on grass or uneven ground. We recommend bringing a water bottle, a blanket or cushion to sit on if you’d like, and anything that helps you feel grounded and comfortable. We will provide chairs.

Question 5

What happens if it rains or the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

We’ll have a backup plan—either meeting under cover or rescheduling, depending on the forecast. We’ll always keep you informed ahead of time via email or text.

Question 6

Who leads the group?

Accepted Answer

The group is facilitated by two licensed therapists who have both personal and professional experience with grief. They create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for whatever you’re carrying.

Question 7

Can I bring a friend, support person or my children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you’re welcome to bring a support person or children, but we ask that each person register ahead of time so we can plan accordingly.

Question 8

Will there be animals involved?

Accepted Answer

You may see horses or other farm animals nearby, and we may occasionally integrate time with animals into the group experience—but  we won't be directly interacting with animals. We also ask that you keep any personal pets at home. Service animals are, of course,  welcome.

Question 9

Are you a handicap accessible location?

Accepted Answer

We plan to be outside in an easily accessible field. Please note that we do not have a handicap accessible bathroom. We will do our best to meet your needs, so please feel free to contact us to ask about further accommodations.
