Good Grief Program:
Nature Walking for Grief and Loss

Fall session dates:

Tuesday, September 15 to November 3, 10:00 to 11:30 am
Wednesday, September 16 to November 4, 6:30 to 8:00 pm

Come walk with us.

Take a walk—alongside, not away from—your grief or loss, through the calming scenery of Fish Creek Provincial Park. In partnership with Mount Royal University Professor Sonya Jakubec and Alberta Parks, the Good Grief program offers an 8-week series of gentle nature walks in Fish Creek Park. Walk in nature with caring volunteer companions.

This is an on-going weekly program that combines gentle walking in nature with reflection and sharing. It is designed to support adults who are grieving. Each week follows one of our core themes to deepen reflection and connection.

The program is offered to registrants to ensure continuity and trust among the participants and volunteer facilitators along the journey. The Fall 2026 series will start on September 15 and has two days to choose from:

Tuesday mornings – 10:00 to 11:30 am
Wednesday evenings – 6:30 to 8:00 pm

We’ll begin with a
reading or by sharing
an experience.

Next, we’ll take a gentle, two to three kilometre walk in calm nature.

Good Grief is for anyone:

There are other people who are in the same situation as me. I’m not the only one feeling this way.
