Honoring Grief through Art, Rest and Movement
Our Vision
We envision a world where grief is witnessed with compassion, patience, and an understanding that the path toward healing is a uniquely individual experience.
Our Mission
Through art, rest, and movement, we nurture the continuing cycles of healing for those in relationship with grief. We value safety, solace, and the sacred mess of the grieving process.
Who we are
We are the family of Austin Reese McDougal.
Austin was a painter, a runner, a believer in magic and a chaser of waterfalls. We are the caretakers of his legacy. Through our own grief, we have established this foundation and are committed to holding space for anyone else grieving a loss of any kind.
“As that I can see, there’s no way out but through.”
~Robert Frost
