Grief to Reefs™
Honoring Lives, Healing Oceans
A Blueprint Ocean Legacy Initiative
When grief has nowhere to go, it needs a place to be carried with care. Our work creates space for expression, meaning, and movement.
Grief to Reefs™ is our signature program, compassionately guiding families along lasting pathways of legacy. At its heart are memorial reefs, tributes that honor loved ones while symbolically connecting remembrance with care for the ocean. Alongside memorial reefs, the program includes grief-informed ocean education and ceremonial retreats. Through Grief to Reefs™, families carry bonds with loved ones forward while also creating a lasting connection to ocean conservation.
Our Programs
Blueprint Ocean Legacy™ offers grief-informed ocean programs that connect remembrance with ocean care, helping families and communities find legacy, learning, and healing. We provide pathways for living legacies that honor loved ones and create opportunities for doulas to guide through education and memorials. Our programs also open the door for communities to engage in ocean conservation through remembrance, making it personal and accessible.
ReefChangemakers™
Courses that equip death doulas, grief practitioners, and eco-conscious advocates with ocean legacy practices to support their communities.
Blue Ocean Legacy Retreats™
Retreats that bring together loved ones for remembrance and ocean conservation, creating space for healing, reflection, and legacy-building.
Youth Ocean Legacy Labs™

Grief may never leave us, but how we carry it can shape something that heals, honors, and helps support the world around us.
