Take a Walk With Us

During this event you will have the opportunity to meet and bond with others who have faced similar losses. Our walk aims to create a supportive community where participants can share their experiences and find comfort in knowing they are not alone. You will also be able to engage with people who understand the unique pain of losing someone to suicide.

Our community emphasizes listening and validation, recognizing each person's grief as unique and deeply important. Walking in this beautiful natural forest allows those attending to invite the grounding and comforting power of nature to allow us to be present with each other and present with the shared grief of this group.

Walking together we hope to foster unity and strength, offering a sense of peace and collective healing.
