Our monthly Walking Group is a gentle, informal way to get outside, meet others and connect with people who are also experiencing grief.

🚶 When: Last Monday of each month, 10am
📍 Where: Birkenhead or other North Shore areas, Auckland

The group is facilitated by Grief Centre counsellors. You don’t have to talk about your grief if you don’t want to. Come along, walk at your own pace and connect with others.

Note: As the last Monday in October is Labour Day, the walk will be held on the first Monday of November. The next walk to be held will be the first Monday of December.

Grief often has its own agenda. There is no schedule for grieving, no set timeline for when you should feel better, and no need to rush towards acceptance. The right pace is the one you can sustain.

CAN YOU HELP?

Alicja is a PhD student at the University of Auckland, and she's currently running a study exploring how people continue to feel connected to someone who has died.

Some people have experiences such as dreams, sensing the person is nearby, noticing meaningful signs, or other ways of feeling an ongoing connection. If this sounds familiar to you, she would really appreciate your help.

She's inviting adults (18+) who have experienced an ongoing connection after a loss. The study is an anonymous online survey (about 30 minutes), and people can skip any questions or stop at any time. As the survey includes a short task at the end, it is best completed on a computer or laptop rather than a phone.
