Grief Walk in Schmitz Preserve Park with Listening to Grief

Join Listening to Grief on a free, guided forest walk to make space for individual and collective grief on National Grieving in Public Day.

Meet at the Hinds St. entrance to Schmitz Preserve Park.

What is a grief walk? We will walk among the flora of the park allowing ourselves to feel and talk about grief, while drawing comfort from the presence of others who are also grieving. During the walk we will stop a few times for poetry, observation, movement, story sharing, and quiet contemplation.

All are welcome. Keep in mind we will be talking about grief and death, which may be sensitive topics for some. The trails are uneven and sometimes narrow, and there are a couple steep inclines and one set of wooden stairs. The ground may be muddy. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes.
