Stillwater Hospice Offers Grief Hikes

April 18, 2024 at 4:47 p.m.


FORT WAYNE - Time spent in nature has been associated with improved mental health and overall well-being. Walking and movement can be helpful in processing emotions that are a part of the grieving process.
Grief hikes are designed to combine these benefits through mindful movement and immersion in nature.
The Peggy F. Murphy Community Grief Center in collaboration with ACRES Land Trust will be hosting Grief Hikes on the third Friday every month from May through September. This collaboration is meant to help introduce the grieving community to how accessible the ACRES trails are for their own healing journey while also having the opportunity to hike and process grief with a group.
Each hike will be held at a different ACRES location, accessible within the Stillwater Hospice service area. Hikes are open to any adult who has experienced a death-related loss. Because hikes are limited to 10 participants, RSVP is required for each hike. Contact the Grief Center to register.
The Grief Hikes are at 10 a.m. the third Fridays May through June at the Peggy F. Murphy Community Grief Center, 5920 Homestead Road, Fort Wayne. RSVP required by Friday, April 26. Call 260-435-3261 or email [email protected] to reserve a spot.
