Second Sundays
Waves of Grief Community Circles
Join us on the second Sunday of each month as we navigate the Waves of Grief and loss together, building connection and community and finding healing amongst the waves. This is a community space held to normalize grief and find healing, in and around the ocean.
All grief and grievers and all ocean experiences are welcome.
Waves of Grief Second Sundays is a donation based year-round Ocean + Surf Therapy program that allows for flow and meaningful connection supported by the ocean and hosted by our global Waves of Grief collective, a community of licensed clinicians, healers, community leaders, and those navigating their own grief and wanting to hold space to come together with community to reduce the feelings of isolation and loneliness that accompany grief and loss. We offer opportunities to engage with nature as a supportive element in the grief journey and tools for participants to cultivate their own sustainable, nature-based therapeutic practices.
*Registration is required to participate *Please bring your own gear to enjoy Mother Ocean how you feel best. We start in circle on the sand, then invite everyone to engage with the ocean through watching, wading, swimming, boogie boarding or surfing, etc.
