Grief Respite Retreats Held once every few months. Up to 12 guests. The Retreat Hosts have each experienced grief through loss in their life. They understand the immense value of sharing our grief stories, as a part of healing, as a part of acceptance, and as the soul-filling part of having a community that you can be yourself with. Our
Forest Pods create the perfect space to be alone with your
thoughts. To journal & reflect. To rest. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Our
Gathering Cabin is an ideal place to get cozy, share meals, share
stories around the fire and connect deeply. The Retreat Hosts are not counsellors. They are facilitators, who have walked a familiar path, and are here to guide conversations, lead worship, and be available for you. |
