What we’re about
Two monthly gatherings for widows and widowers to connect socially and support each other. One gathering is an in-person late-morning walk with lunch following (or choose just the walk or just lunch). The other gathering is an evening online meeting.
This is a Regional Social Group for Soaring Spirits, an organization created to support widows and widowers and help them connect with others in the same situation. They sponsor Camp Widow retreats in the US and Canada (watch Camp Widow: The Film below), and they offer a multitude of resources and programs. They also have Regional Social Groups for us to gather twice a month or more. Until now, the closest Regional Group to us was in San Francisco.
