Welcome to the Griefwalk Monthly Meet-Ups.

We are creating a gentle, welcoming space for anyone connected to Griefwalk - whether you are new, have completed a support group, are waiting for a companion, or are simply looking for ongoing connection and encouragement.

These evenings are not support groups, but guided community gatherings where people can come to listen, reflect, connect, and simply be - with no pressure to share.

Each Meet Up will include:
• A brief welcome and introduction
• A short reflection, speaker, or discussion on a grief-related topic
• Gentle conversation and connection
• Space to sit quietly, reflect, or connect with others

We hope these evenings will feel warm, calm, and welcoming - with coffee, tea, books, memory table, resources, and a sense of community for those walking through grief.

Meet Ups are planned for the third Thursday evening of each month (subject to change) from 7:00–8:30pm at Lakeside Church Cafe, 6754 Conservation Road, Guelph, ON.

Upcoming Themes:

May 21 – Understanding Grief (and Why This Feels So Hard)
June 25 – The Many Faces of Grief (Note: this is fourth Thursday of the month)
July 16 – Staying Connected
August 20 – When the World Moves On
September 17 – Grief in Everyday Life
October 15 – Change, Identity & Who I Am Now
November 19 – Navigating the Holidays

You are welcome to attend one evening or join us regularly.

Please RSVP to help us plan and prepare a welcoming space for everyone.

While graciously hosted at Lakeside Church, Griefwalk Meet Ups are community-based gatherings that welcome people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences and are non-religious in nature.
