  • About the Program 

    As bell hooks noted, “Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.” We must come together.

    Created by LaUra Schmidt and Aimee Lewis Reau, Good Grief Network's 10-Step program is a peer-to-peer support group where we can start attending to our collective wounding and traumas created by surviving in unjust systems.

    In the program, we connect 1.5 to 2 hours each week over 10 weeks. During that time we learn to attune to one another to process our heavy and painful feelings about the state of the world, build community connections, and (re-)discover meaning and joy. Each group is facilitated by a GGN-trained and certified FLOW Facilitator.

    This is NOT a therapy program. We are not here to fix each other or be fixed. We practice deep listening and sharing in these spaces; not discussion.

    We prioritize an intimate group experience, capping each group at 15 participants, including the facilitation team.

    In this space, our facilitators will create a brave, emergent container where each participant can explore what it means to stay awake, aware, and engaged during times of great disruption, chaos, and uncertainty. We will do the deep work of facing and processing our feelings with others, so that we can care for ourselves and our communities.

    Good Grief Network does not offer advice. We are not here to fix each other but to slow down, listen deeply, create connections, build trust, and reimagine the world. We create transformative spaces using group consciousness, grounding exercises, personal sharing, and poetry.

    Time Commitment

    We prioritize small groups, so spots are limited. Please only sign up for this group if you are able to attend the full two hours of all 10 meetings (barring unexpected circumstances, of course).

    Accessibility

    Participants are responsible for getting themselves to and from the meeting location. Exact address will be shared upon acceptance, please email us if you have any questions. 

    This program will be hosted in English. We would like to be able to offer the 10-Step in other languages, but are still a very small nonprofit organization and do not have that capacity at this time.

    Please let us know if you have any accessibility needs the facilitator team should be aware of.

    All scholarship requests can expect a response at least 3 days prior to start of your selected 10-Step program. We are a small team and appreciate your patience in awaiting your response, however, feel free to gently nudge us if you have not heard back via hello@goodgriefnetwork.org by that time (or check your spam folder).

  • GGN Refund Policy

    We are unable to offer refunds for GGN's 10-Step program.

    GGN offers a small group experience, which means that spots in our programs are limited and coveted. Because this fellowship involves progressive step-work and intimate trust-building, we are unable to fill the spots of participants who withdraw last minute or in the middle of the program. We ask you to please practice discernment and mutual care by being intentional with your registration upon acceptance.

    This includes timing mix ups.     Before continuing, please TRIPLE check your availability and the timing of this offering.
