Pause, connect, learn about the natural, necessary process of grief and mourning. Set in a calming natural environment, this retreat is structured to provide essential information about grief and a supportive structure to attend to current and past losses.
The faces of grief are many: death, relationship loss, loss of home or homeland, health and job losses, severence from ancestral stories and rituals, sorrow for the degradation of the earth and more. Grief and loss touch us all and there is extensive evidence for the need to attend to grief for our own well-being and that of the broader community.
Give yourself this space to receive tools to attend to the large and small losses that touch each of our lives and a supportive process to honour the needs of grief. Explore grief's capactiy for renewal and as a way into deeper connection with all life.
At the end of the day, this retreat date can include an evening thermal spa experience at Amerispa-Cantley, 5 minutes from our retreat location. Alternating between hot and cold facilitates relaxation and a sense of calm and serenity to your body after a day of attending to your soul.
Ceremonies, reflective practices, expressive arts, and movement will vary at each retreat. For a more comprehensive retreat experience, consider registering for more than one retreat.
