Loss Is Heavy
When someone or something special is gone, families and communities feel the weight. The problem is, many of us think we have to carry grief alone — like trying to lift a giant couch by ourselves. But what if we shared that grief?
The PassingOn Collective helps strengthen villages around those who are grieving, building ways for families and groups to stay connected and care for each other. When we support each other, we transform sadness into shared strength.
Signature Programs

Listening Circle
The Listening Circle is a structured, compassionate way for communities to gather in the wake of significant loss or transition. Your group models the practice of deep listening, creating a safe environment where you can speak from the heart and be heard – without interruption, judgment, or pressure to solve anything.
Legacy Forward
Legacy Forward is for you when you are anticipating the end of life — or life as you know it — to articulate and celebrate your legacy. Through a co-creative process, we’ll customize a plan involving storytelling, music, games, and events for you and the important people in your life to gather, share and honor who you are to each other.
Email us to explore Legacy Forward for you and your village.
Care Village
The Care Village is a journey of presence and renewal for intact groups. In this 12-week program, you and your peers will learn the skills necessary to support one another through grief and transition, strengthening your capacity and emotional intelligence, and bonding your community.
Email us to inquire about working with your senior living center, religious community, healthcare space, or professional network.
Testimonials
We don’t really talk about legacy in our family. So I wasn’t sure if my grown children would understand what has been important to me in my lifetime. But the Legacy Letter produced by The PassingOn Collective gets to the core of it and will speak for me.
Lana Cowell,
Activist and Matriarch
The Listening Circle experience will be so very meaningful for chaplains and spiritual directors, pastors, etc. The facilitators are confident and knowledgeable and express themselves with such feeling and compassion. I really hope a great number of folks will take part in these gatherings. They will not be sorry!
Pastor Carolyn Horvath,
Hope House of Prayer
We can take the PassingOn practices into our organizations to replace busyness with spaciousness. We can be reminded that in doing so, we are actually more productive, our relationships improve, and we can connect to each other and to purpose at work.

Working With Us
We are trained in grief literacy, cooperative work, narrative design, spiritual care, and community building. Our work strengthens the emotional fabric of families and groups, guiding them through loss with deep understanding, co-creative practices, and relationship-centered support. Together, these approaches help communities become crucibles for renewal.
Empathy Matters
Loss and grief can make us feel alone. When we’re with others who understand our feelings and experiences, we become part of a sacred community.
Authentic Connection
We foster relationships in which everyone can be their most authentic self — big feelings, weird habits, all of it — because we know true renewal requires it.
Collaborative Design
In working together with our clients, we’re able to support a customized path based on unique needs. Because who knows you better than you?
