Utilizing an empirically validated grief model, the group will provide a safe space for members to sit with and express their grief, to witness and be validated in their grief, to integrate the reality of the death of their loved one, to re-envision their future, and to recover or reclaim inner and outer resources. This group will be facilitated by Megan Gaffney, MHC-LP and a Dwellness Advanced Clinical Trainee. Clients can schedule a free consultation here.

Grief Walks

START DATE: Mid-September & Ongoing

DURATION: 45 minute walking sessions, 8-12 weeks, upon inclement weather session will be virtual or rescheduled

FEE: $25-90/45 minute walk, based on financial need

In partnership with Sparrow, Dwellness will be offering Grief Walks to individuals, families or couples, throughout the arboretum of Green-wood cemetery, Riverside Park, or Trinity Cemetery and Mausoleum. Grief walks will offer the opportunity to engage in several healing factors:

  • The ability to share your grief without fear of burdening others, thereby reducing loneliness and withdrawal

  • The grounding and healing impact of connecting with and witnessing nature.

  • The psychological benefits of physical activity, during a time when it can be very hard to move

  • The exposure to death as a part of life, through walking amongst those who have passed

FEE: $25-90 per 45 minute walk (based on financial need). These Grief Walks will be facilitated by Dwellness’ Advanced Clinical Trainees.
