During this three-day, three-night experience, you will gather with others in a safe space where all of your self and your grief are wholeheartedly welcome. Together, we will learn more about how loss and grief affect our lives, relationships, and sense of self. Through gatherings, exercises, activities, and mind-body work, we will find solace, self-compassion, and inspiration to cultivate hope, grace, and new awareness within the realm of grief. Allow yourself to open to the deep power of grieving as a path to true healing, integration, and transformation.

Together, we will explore how we can tend to personal and collective grief, joy, and imagination while enduring in times of trouble. This weekend will intentionally create space and time to foster personal openings through individual and collective practices such as guided meditation; group discussion; ritual; somatic and land-based practices; and personal reflection. We will question and practice what it means to grieve, love, and belong –to ourselves, to each other, and to the land around us.

In addition to scheduled group activities, there will be personal time for participants to rest, journal, explore the area, or do whatever else calls to them. Retreat is an intentional coming away from daily activities, to slow down and notice what might be surfacing from within when we take the time to rest, reflect, and step outside of everyday life.
