Common Ground

Saturday, October 24, 2026, 10:00 a.m. -

Join us to honor your grief, celebrate your loved one's legacy, and safely rediscover community and joy alongside others walking the same path. 

You don’t have to navigate grief alone.

What is Common Ground?

Common Ground is an overnight retreat for young adults ages 18–25 who are grieving the death of someone close to them. It’s a chance to step away from the everyday, connect with others who get it, and find your own way forward after loss.

Share your story—or simply listen. Explore practical ways to cope with grief while navigating the unique challenges of early adulthood. Connect with peers who understand what you’re going through and discover that you’re not alone.

Come as you are. Leave with new tools for coping, meaningful connections, and a community you can carry with you beyond the retreat.
