Experiences That Heal

🌿 Community & Movement Events

Momentum • Movement

Movement looks different for everyone navigating grief — and every pace is honored here. Some days, healing might look like a slow walk on a quiet trail. Other days, it might feel like rising, pushing, running, or reclaiming strength you didn’t know you had. Through RAISE in Motion™, we invite families and caregivers to discover what movement means to them — whether hiking, stretching, wandering, or training for something bigger. From seasonal walks and challenges to our annual Costumed Creature Crawl 5K, each event offers a chance to move, build momentum, and connect.

💜 Remembrance & Connection Gatherings

Mindfulness • Meaningful Connections • Music

Connection creates space for grief to breathe. Our gatherings are designed anyone looking to navigate loss together through shared experiences. These include book clubs, remembrance meetups, couples retreats, creative workshops, seasonal gatherings, and meaningful rituals such as scattering of ashes ceremonies. These moments remind families that while grief may feel isolating, they never have to walk the journey alone. Each gathering offers a compassionate space to remember, reflect, and discover steady support within a caring community.

✨ Provider Experiences

Meaningful Connections • Mindfulness

Healthcare and wellness providers often experience profound emotional impact from witnessing pregnancy or infant loss. Our provider-focused experiences honor their role, their compassion, and their humanity. Through initiatives such as the Hands That Held Nomination for our annual Birthday Bash, professional reflection gatherings, and care resources immediately following a loss, providers can navigate the emotional weight of their work in a supportive environment. These experiences foster community, recognition, and renewal — helping caregivers continue their work with groundedness, empathy, and resilience.

🕊️ Nature-Based Healing Spaces

Momentum • Movement • Mindfulness

Nature offers a kind of healing that meets people exactly where they are. In partnership with communities and organizations, RAISE Your Hearts is creating outdoor spaces that support individuals and families as they pursue grounding, remembrance, connection, and movement. Projects include the Wind Phone (Air), the Memory Stream (Water), the Candle Labyrinth (Fire), Sacred Groves for natural burial and ash-scattering (Earth), as well as Natural Playscapes, Outdoor Gyms, and Enchanted Forest installations that incorporate sensory and whimsical elements. Each space honors the elements, the seasons, and the ongoing relationship between families and their loved ones.

💞 Supportive Resources

Momentum • Mindfulness • Meaningful Connections

For families and care providers seeking guidance at their own pace, we are developing tools that support emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. These include the Wellness in Grief Guide, permission tokens, and affirmation decks for both families and healthcare providers. These resources offer gentle, accessible ways to navigate grief, build grounding moments, and pursue meaningful healing — whether at home, in nature, or in a care setting.
