join a Grief Movement Community
a different type of grief group. Move with us in a city near you this fall.
Grief Movement Communities are free, 8-week, movement-based grief groups for people who have experienced the life-disrupting loss of a person. Every group is led by a trained E-Motion Facilitator — someone who has also experienced loss and believes in the power of moving through grief together.
Each week, your group gathers in person to move together — walking, hiking, or running — toward a shared distance goal, while creating space for grief to be spoken, witnessed, and shared.
Sign ups for the fall are live now.
our fall 2026 cities
This fall, we're honored to welcome 75+ Facilitators to the cohort — our largest yet. Together, we're bringing Grief Movement Communities to 55+ cities across the country.
How To Move With Us:
If we're in your city:
Find your city in the fall list below and open its event page. Each Grief Movement Community is a little different, so please review the group’s details to ensure it’s the right fit before completing the interest form.
If it feels like a fit, submit the interest form — it's linked below and on every local event page.
From there, your local E-Motion Facilitator will reach out to set up a call. It's a chance for us to get to know you, answer any questions, and make sure it's the right fit for you at this moment.
If we're not in your city yet:
We hope to be soon — our aim is to bring Grief Movement Communities to cities everywhere. In the meantime, we'd love for you to join our Virtual Grief Movement Community. To join, fill out the interest form below and let us know you're interested in the virtual group.
Not ready for the virtual community? Fill out the form anyway, and we'll reach out as soon as a group launches in your city.
A Note: We are continuing to update and finalize local Grief Movement Community event pages. If it’s not linked now, it will be soon!

We’re growing, and we’d still love to hear from you. If we’re not in your city yet, please fill out the application here so we can reach out to you when a group starts in your area.
You can also join our Virtual Movement Community or learn more about becoming a Facilitator and bringing a group to your city.
