When we bring our grief and mourning to nature, it can help decrease our pain in the moment while also helping us heal in the long run. These special Monday’s Moments gatherings provide grief education and support with the added healing benefit of talking about and being with nature. They’ll be held at the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center where we’ll have both indoor meeting space and outdoor wandering space available to us.

Please register below ↓ or by visiting www.CRPR.org. Space is limited. For additional questions or information email Jackie@JackieHook.com or call (814) 237-2712.

Koch Funeral Home has partnered with YMCA of Centre County.

When you lose a loved one, having support helps you on your healing journey. It is powerful to realize you are not alone and to learn how others make it through. In this grief education and support group, we’ll discuss grief and mourning, have opportunities to share our own stories, if desired, and be among others who have experienced a loss. Adults of all ages are welcome – intergenerational support is a powerful healer too.

Facilitators are Jackie Naginey Hook and Brenda Oyler Kim. To RSVP, email Jackie Naginey Hook at Jackie@JackieHook.com or call 814-237-2712.

When: Every 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, February 10, and February 24, 2026
Time: 4:30pm - 6:00pm
Where: YMCA of Centre County, State College Branch, 677 W. Whitehall Road, State College

Koch Funeral Home has partnered with Centre Region Parks & Recreation.

When you’re grieving a loss, your heart can feel like it has been broken apart. Here is an opportunity for you to knit your heart back together. Knitting can be very meditative, sharing with others is healing, and if you’d like to make hats and sweaters for newborn babies, it is an opportunity for another kind of healing by caring for others. No knitting experience is necessary! Instructors: Eleanor Martin and Jackie Naginey Hook.

You will be responsible for providing knitting needles and yarn and will receive a list of the necessary supplies after registration. Please register at Centre Region Parks & Recreation website ↓. If you have questions, email Jackie@JackieHook.com or call (814) 237-2712.
