Overview

Mission

E-motion is committed to transforming the way the world shows up for each other through grief and loss, so no one grieves alone. We do this through the power of movement, community, and ritual to enhance coping and resiliency.

What it reported doing in 2025

In addition to movement communities, e-motion offers direct-to-griever programs designed to expand access to connection and support for people navigating loss.rx to feel: rx to feel is e-motion's self-guided audio series created by and for grievers, intended to be experienced while in motion. Launched in 2024, the series offers companionship and reflection prompts that help listeners move with their grief through everyday movement. In 2025, rx to feel was also integrated into the movement community experience, with episodes incorporated into weekly facilitator notes and movement practices. Additional audio series are currently in development and will launch in 2026.sacred circles: sacred circles are short, monthly virtual gatherings facilitated by e-motion that provide a grounding space for grievers to speak their person's name, reflect, and be witnessed in community. The sacred circle ritual at the heart of every movement community invites participants to honor their grief and arrive as they are before moving together. In 2025, virtual sacred circles reached 120 participants, offering shared reflection and a reminder that grief belongs in community.
