PROGRAMS
Box & Breathe Wellness Events
Our Box & Breathe Wellness Events provide a powerful way for individuals and families to process grief through boxing, breathwork, and community support. These bi-monthly sessions help release stored emotions, restore inner strength, and create connections with others on a similar journey. Open to all fitness levels, each event is a safe and supportive space where movement meets healing. Participants leave with self-care tools they can continue using beyond the session—reminding them that they are not alone, and healing is possible.
Participants of Box & Breathe Wellness Events experience a range of emotional, mental, and physical benefits, including:
Emotional Release & Healing – Through guided boxing and breathwork, attendees process grief in a healthy, physical way, reducing emotional tension and stress. Improved Mental Well-Being – Participants report feeling lighter, more grounded, and less overwhelmed by their grief after engaging in movement and mindfulness. Increased Sense of Community – By connecting with others who understand their journey, individuals feel less isolated in their grief and find a supportive network. Empowerment & Inner Strength – The combination of movement and guided breathing helps participants regain control, confidence, and resilience in the face of loss. Long-Term Self-Healing Tools – Attendees leave with techniques they can continue using beyond the session, including breathwork, mindfulness, and movement-based emotional release.
Our goal is to help grieving individuals and families find strength through movement, healing through breath, and support through community—ensuring that no one has to grieve alone.
Gloves for Growth Virtual Support Group
Gloves for Growth Virtual Support Group is a 5-week guided grief support program designed to provide comfort, connection, and healing in a safe and supportive environment. Led by Certified Grief Educators, this intimate group (capped at 8 participants) creates space for participants to share their stories, process emotions, and develop tools to navigate grief with compassion and resilience. The program meets weekly on Mondays, with the first four sessions held virtually via Zoom, followed by a final in-person Healing Experience. This closing session offers a creative, hands-on activity that allows participants to express and honor their healing journey in a tangible way.
Participants in the Gloves for Growth program build meaningful connections within a supportive grief community, reducing feelings of isolation while fostering a sense of belonging. Through guided sessions, they develop practical coping tools and strategies to navigate grief in their daily lives, while increasing emotional awareness and the ability to process complex feelings. The program creates space for participants to feel seen, heard, and validated in their experiences, while engaging in reflective and creative practices that support healing and renewal. By the end of the five weeks, participants leave with a greater sense of hope, resilience, and continued connection to support resources and community.
Annual Healing Retreat
The Gloves for Grief Retreat is an immersive, extended healing experience designed to support individuals navigating grief through a holistic, mind-body-soul approach. Building on the organization’s signature Box & Breathe model, this retreat expands into a multi-hour program that offers deeper opportunities for connection, reflection, and intentional self-care. Participants engage in a variety of guided healing modalities, including grief-informed boxing, breathwork, restorative practices such as sound healing, creative expression through healing art, and small-group support sessions. Each component is thoughtfully designed to meet individuals where they are in their grief journey, offering both active and reflective pathways to healing. The retreat concludes with a shared group experience and community gathering, creating space for participants to connect, nourish themselves, and honor both their loss and the love that remains. This program provides an accessible and supportive environment where individuals can process grief in a nontraditional, community-centered setting.
Participants leave the Gloves for Grief Retreat with a strengthened sense of connection and belonging, having engaged with others who share in the experience of loss. Through a combination of physical movement, emotional expression, and restorative practices, individuals gain practical tools to help process grief and regulate their emotional well-being. The retreat experience supports reduced feelings of isolation, increased emotional awareness, and the ability to navigate grief in a more embodied and supported way. Participants also benefit from opportunities for reflection and creative expression, leaving with a renewed sense of hope, resilience, and connection to a broader healing community.
