Your Grief is Wild & Welcome: We provide free peer support programs in nature to grieving youth, families and people of all ages. We combine peer based grief support with the healing power of nature.
We are a nonprofit based in Olympia, Washington. We serve people from around the region who are grieving the death of someone close to them.
When we take a break from routine, and connect as a group in nature we see that death is a normal part of the cycle of life all around us. The rugged beauty of wild spaces can hold our diverse untamed emotions. When we go through it together, on the other side of we find resilience. That is why our motto is Go Outside. Go Together. Go Through It.
We strive to have something for everyone going through the complexities of grief. Wherever you are on your grief journey, we hope you can join us.
