Join us at Woodard Bay in Olympia for our monthly grief hike. Woodard Bay trail is a 1.5 mile forest loop trail that consist of boardwalks, stairs and dirt trails. The real treat is arriving at peaceful and beautiful Salish Sea (Puget Sound) with waterfowl and often harbor seals.

Every grief hike begins with an opening circle, an acknowledgement of who is here and who we are carrying in our hearts. Then we walk in silence for 10 minutes. After our silent time, the group morphs and changes, small groupings or solitary walkers. Conversations can be deep or light, mixing the here and now with our shut away places. We know each of us is somewhere in their grief journey and all are welcome. We end with a closing circle.

Open to all ages. Participants under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Please leave pets at home. Trained service animals welcome.\

Registration for this event is full.
