join the Movement Community
a different type of grief group - for grievers, by grievers. Move with us in a city near you.
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. To learn more about what the experience looks and feels like, visit our Movement Community page here.
