Good Grief Program:
Nature Walking for Grief and Loss

Click to register for the january session

Come walk with us.

This fall, 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, our Winter Good Grief program runs from January to March 2026, with walks starting at the Bow Valley Ranch Visitor Centre.

You can register for two different streams – Tuesdays or Sundays. Each stream takes place weekly for eight weeks on the day of your choosing. To register for Tuesdays or Sundays, choose the start date of your preferred session and proceed to checkout.

Tuesdays: January 13 to March 3

Sundays: January 18 to March 8

Time (both streams): 1:00 to 2:30 p.m.

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.

Who is this group for?

Good Grief is for anyone:

– experiencing transition in their lives

– coping with the loss of a loved one

– dealing with the loss of a job or career

– managing a significant change in health or mobility

– going through deep changes in their life

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