What are Sad Hours?

Sad Hours (because not every hour is happy) are our way of flipping the script on how we deal with loss. They’re real-life gatherings where you can ditch the “I’m fine” act and actually talk about what’s going on — the heavy stuff, the messy stuff, the human stuff — with people who get it.

No two Sad Hours are the same. We’ve shared stories over fries, made candles together, unrolled yoga mats — and we’re always game to try something new. The vibe is simple: real people talking about real things…or just listening. There’s no pressure to share if you don’t want to. Sad Hours are all about real connection around a table, or over a drink or two (or zero).
