Koch Funeral Home

04/08/2026

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

A Walk with Grief is not an exercise program but instead a time of coming together with others who are grieving a loss and…walking. Walking to connect with the healing aspects of nature. And walking to know you're not alone. You can speak and share with others, or you can move about in silence. The important thing is to show-up. Sessions will be held at different parks in our community. There will be three more sessions and participants will receive park information once registration is complete.

Jackie Naginey Hook will be the instructor. If you have questions, please email Jackie@JackieHook.com or call (814) 237-2712. Please register at Centre Region Parks & Recreation website ↓.

Join Erika Isler, certified Equus coach, and Jackie Naginey Hook, spiritual director, celebrant, and end-of-life doula, to more deeply explore grief through experiential work with horses. Participants will be guided through safe exercises with the herd to help each person, and the group, find meaning in the challenges that the universal experiences of loss present.

As natural empaths, horses offer us rich insights into grief, loss, compassion, and resilience. What will you learn after a few hours with a herd of horses? 🐎🐎🐎

You won’t look at your journey the same way again.
