SMALL GROUP OPPORTUNITIES
Grief Group
In grief, we need to tell our story, and we need safe people and spaces to do so. After the loss of a child, we know it can feel lonely, dark and scary. The complex nature of grief demands gentle and compassionate support. Grief deserves to be witnessed and over the years, we have seen tremendous healing happen through shared experiences.
Grief is a lonely experience, but you don't have to do it alone. We will hold a safe space for you as you journey through your grief.
We have a small grief group that meets the third Monday of the month at the Healing Hope Retreat Center at 30185 475th Ave, Alcester, SD from 6:30-8:30pm. Contact Karri at 605-201-4261 with any questions.
We also have a group that meets in Mitchell at Bread & Vine Bistro on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm. Contact LeAnn Moe at 605-770-8193 with any questions.

“After we lost our daughter, we had these horrible emotions and thoughts. We thought we were the only ones who had them. After attending Healing Hope's groups, we realized that we aren’t alone. We now feel like we can actually grieve and not feel guilty about it.“ -grieving mother
Campfire & Conversations
Our Campfire and Conversation evenings are hosted around our firepit at our retreat center. During this time, we invite the grieving community to come as they are for warm conversation around the fire. For specific dates, check our Facebook page for updates.
