Befriending Grief through the Seasons

We Illuminate the Path of Grief by Walking It Together

and .. by allowing Grief to take us by the hand and guide us through cycles rhythms of nature, we reconnect with nature, with our true nature, and with one another.

Memorial Candle

One of the most impactful actions that I have taken in my own grief has been to tap into the power of grief-tending practices, immersing myself in nature's rhythms, and surrounding myself with those who get it

Now, I am forming an emerging community that combines all of this and more.

Membership FAQs

What is the Befriending Grief Membership Program? This is a supportive, community-centered space designed to guide you through the journey of grief. This program offers live gatherings, workshops aligned with nature’s rhythms, access to a members-only platform where you can connect with others who are also navigating their grief.

When is this community beginning? I am currently enrolling Founding Members to begin January 2026!

What if I’m not ready to fully engage right now? I understand that grief is a deeply personal experience, and everyone moves at their own pace. As a founding member, you’ll have access to all the resources, and you can engage with the community and materials as much or as little as you’re comfortable with. You can revisit the content whenever you’re ready.

Can I cancel my membership if it’s not the right fit for me? Yes, you can cancel your membership at any time if you feel it’s not the right fit for you. We want you to feel comfortable and supported, and there’s no long-term commitment required.

What does it mean to be a Founding Member? As a founding member, you’ll be among the first to join the Befriending Grief Membership Program. This special status comes with a free membership, and you’ll have the opportunity to shape the direction and offerings of the program by providing feedback. Because we all have to begin somewhere, we will navigate the platform and behind-the-scenes tech together!

How long does the free founding membership last? The free membership is available for a limited time and applies to the lifetime of your membership. If you choose to leave the Befriending Grief Membership and then decide to rejoin, the free rate will no longer apply.

What happens during the live gatherings? During the live gatherings, we come together as a community to share, reflect, and support each other. Each session includes guided discussions, opportunities for sharing, mindfulness exercises, and teachings that align with the season or monthly theme.

Will I have access to the content after my membership ends? No, members have access to the resources, recordings, and materials in the members-only portal but will not be made available if you decide to not renew your membership.

Walking through change or loss? You don’t have to carry it alone.
Join a compassionate community that honors life’s transitions through shared ritual, reflection, and connection.
