Providing comfort and support when grief hurts.
Have you lost someone special and had a difficult time accepting they are gone? Do you feel so alone because you miss them so much?
My name is Reid and I'm the Founder of Grief Refuge, a grief support provider who helps people transform grief into definitive purpose. Through guided meditations, daily reflections, and focused intention setting, grievers find comfort and support to move forward on their grief journey + gain newfound perspective and purpose.
Grief doesn't have to be painful and isolating. It's my honor and passion to help people on their grief journey create a safe space for healing and purpose.
Healing happens when you are supported by people who have had a similar loss. We facilitate grief support groups for several different types of losses.
Do you want to learn helpful tools to manage your grief? We facilitate workshops to help people understand their new normal- and how to move forward.
It's important to have ongoing support. If you need a compassionate listener who will refrain from judgment, show up with compassion and empathy, and hold the space for the expression of ALL your feelings and needs... please reach out.
Listening to and reading stories about others who found peace with their loss helps with healing. Listen to the Grief Refuge podcast or read published articles.
"Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom."
- Rumi
To honor the guidelines set forth by our government, we are now facilitating grief related events online. All experiences are limited to a set number of people to ensure everyone gets an equal opportunity to be fully supported- to express their grief in an authentic way.
All types of grief are welcome – each type of loss is painful. Things are tough right now. We're all experiencing loss in so many different ways. Your grief is real to you. It will be fully honored in this sacred meeting space.
Find comfort, get support and experience Healing – This is the intention for all grief related events. There's comfort knowing that others are going through something similar. There's support knowing the group is ongoing. There's Healing knowing that your grief is real and it can be fully expressed in this sacred space.
Grief Refuge experiences are facilitated by Reid Peterson, MA. Reid achieved a Masters Degree in Transpersonal Psychology (Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 2007) and is trained by Dr. Alan Wolfelt from the Center for Loss & Life Transition. Reid's approach utilizes Dr. Wolfelt's Companioning philosophy; with an emphasis on presence, nature, spirituality, and heart-centered-care for the bereaved. Reid is the 'voice' of Grief Refuge: narrating Podcast episodes and The Daily Refuge on the Grief Refuge App.
When grief overwhelms, it helps to be supported by a companion. In our work together, you'll find peace and purpose to create a path of healing.
We create sacred space for you to feel what's true and authentic. Grief Refuge holds the space to fully support your healing process.
Grief doesn't have to feel lonely or paralyzing. Join us for an experience that is full of healing and wholeness.
We're honored to help support your grief journey.
Grief Refuge support groups help hold space for people who feel lonely, guilty, lost, or uncomfortable in their grief.
Grief Refuge support groups work well because you are supported by people who are compassionate, caring, and understanding. Also, your support network is made up of people who have experienced a similar loss. Your grief is witnessed and your heart is cared for in these sacred meeting spaces.
Ongoing support groups include:
Grief Refuge provides workshops to help grievers learn skills and strategies for managing grief.
To support public health and the elimination of Covid-19, all in-person workshops are transitioning to video on-demand. Despite the virtual connection, there will be tremendous opportunity for healing and learning.
