Running and jogging can help someone actively grieving connect with nature, their body, those running alongside them, and with the complex emotions common in grief.
All bodies, levels, and abilities are welcome to explore and discuss the meaningful impacts of movement. We will discuss benefits and special considerations of running in grief. While this workshop is intended to be educational, we encourage you to come dressed for comfort in the event that you wish to run independently or with others you meet following this workshop.

Running and jogging can help someone actively grieving connect with nature, their body, those running alongside them, and with the complex emotions common in grief. Each of us grieves at our own pace and in our own way; this time spent in nature can further teach us how to tune into our inner voice and find our rhythm.
