our mission is simple:
Grief is not mean to be carried alone. We understand the healing power of community and the importance of creating safe spaces where people can connect, share, and support one another.
We invite our community to come as they are and care for their soul wherever it is.
During our Box & Breathe Wellness Events, certified boxing coaches guide participants through physical training that serves as both a therapeutic outlet and a means of fostering emotional strength.
We believe building resilience starts with the mind. We provide grief education workshops and mental wellness tools that help participants understand the non-linear nature of grief and develop self-care practices.

Gloves for Grief was so much more than we expected it to be. It honestly felt more like a homecoming than an event to us because it was so welcoming, so raw and emotional, and so spiritually healing all at the same time.
