What makes this different from traditional grief support?
This is not a traditional grief support group. Rather than focusing only on processing loss, we are rooted in post-traumatic growth, helping you move through grief and hard life experiences toward more meaning, connection, and purpose. A central part of that is your Reimagine Project, a personal project you build throughout the program that turns your experience into something creative and meaningful. Writing, art, community action, a personal goal. You leave with more than space to be heard. You leave with something real that you made, one small, sweet step at a time.
What is a Reimagine Project?
A Reimagine Project is a personal project inspired by whatever significant challenge or transition brought you here. It can take almost any form. Writing, art, music, community action, a personal goal, whatever feels true to you. The point is not the output. It is giving you a way to process what you have been through, practice sitting with uncertainty, and pursue something that genuinely matters to you right now.
What is the time commitment?
The program runs 10 weeks, with one 1 hour and 45 minute session each week. There is no set amount of time required for the project itself. It is designed to grow alongside you throughout the 10 weeks, at whatever pace feels right. Some projects stay small and simple, others grow bigger, and both are exactly right. On average, people spend somewhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours on it a week.
I recently experienced a loss. Is this program for me?
Yes. Wherever you are in your grief, freshly in it or further down the road, this program meets you there. If your loss is recent, you will be held in a compassionate, safe community as you begin to find your footing.
My loss was a long time ago. Is this program for me?
Yes, absolutely. Grief and hardship do not run on a timeline. This program is just as much for people revisiting an older loss with new eyes as it is for people in the thick of something recent.
Is this only for people who have experienced a death?
No. This program is for anyone navigating loss or hardship, personal or collective. The death of someone you love, a major life transition, a health challenge, the weight of societal issues, or another kind of hard experience. If it has changed you, there is space for it here.
Do I have to be creative or artistic?
No, and this is the worry we hear most often. You do not need to be an artist, and you do not need to be good at anything. Past projects have been letters, weekly walks, conversations that had been put off for years, recipes, and gardens. The point is not the output. If your idea feels too big, making it smaller is part of the work, and your facilitators will help you do exactly that.
What if I miss a session?
Life happens, and missing a session will not put you behind. Each session stands on its own while building toward your project, so come to as many as you can and lean on the group and the journaling platform for anything you missed.
Are there scholarships?
Yes. The program is $50, and cost should never be the reason someone cannot take part. If $50 is prohibitive for you, email Reimagine Program Director Dara Kosberg at dara@letsreimagine.org. We have limited scholarship funds, and you have access to the entire program whatever you pay.
