The Grief Movement Community Experience
About This VIRTUAL Group
The Grief Movement Community is a free, 8-week, virtual experience for people living with life-disrupting loss. It combines movement—walking, hiking, and/or running—with intentional grief support, held in community with others who get it. As a group, you'll work toward a shared distance goal over the 8 weeks — the distance and pace don't matter; what matters is working toward the goal together. Each group includes 10–20 grievers and is guided by a trained E-Motion Facilitator. The group meets weekly, and participants are expected to attend at least 75% of gatherings.
What To Expect
Weekly Gatherings: Each week, your group comes together virtually, via Zoom. Every gathering opens with the E-Motion Sacred Circle — a short, guided ritual that grounds and connects the group, including a naming practice in which each person has the chance to speak the name(s) of those they're moving with. From there, you'll get moving together. Every week, you’ll move a little bit further towards your group’s shared distance goal.
Grief + Movement Resources: Between gatherings, you'll receive notes from your Facilitator and the E-Motion Team — grief concepts, reflection questions, songs, poems, and other nourishing content to sit and move with during the week. You'll also receive our Movement Companion, a collection of resources designed to support you in building a steady movement practice. All of this content is created for grievers, by grievers. Take what resonates, and leave what doesn't — these offerings are simply here to support you in whatever way feels most helpful.
A Culminating Gathering: Every group comes together at the end to complete their shared distance goal and honor how far they've come.
A Community of Grievers Who Get It: Grief can be incredibly isolating. This group exists so you don't have to move with loss alone.

Please note that at the moment, Grief Movement Communities are designed for individuals who have experienced the death of a person. It is our sincere hope to expand to other forms of grief soon. If you have experienced a non-death-related loss, please reach out to our team here.
From there, the E-Motion team will reach out to you to ensure this group feels like a good fit.
Why Join the Grief Movement Community? Words From Our Community
“Grief can often feel isolating, but walking side by side in a supportive environment created space for participants to share their experiences, emotions, and memories without judgment. The simple act of walking together often made difficult conversations feel more natural and accessible, allowing people to process their grief at their own pace.” — Facilitator, Massachusetts
“[Movement, Community, and Ritual] were critical in forming trust and honoring my son. I absolutely need this group. I need to move in nature with others who understand the depth of grief and don’t judge.” — Participant, Connecticut
“This was a safe and pleasant way to spend time with others who are on a grief journey. I appreciated that the rituals were the same every week, and the ways we came together to shift from everyday life into a unique (and sacred) circle/group” — Participant, Vermont
“The consistency of meeting once a week created a strong, loving community and helped regulate my routine.” — Participant, Texas
“I feel like it’s the best thing I’ve done for my grief.” — Facilitator, Connecticut
