Transform Grief Into Grace

Join us for a transformative 3 night community retreat where we will learn to hold the fullness of our grief and step into a life of hope in the face of loss. 

 

We come together as women to honor, heal and remember.​Utilizing breathwork, sound healing, and the power of ceremony to help you express your loss, love, and the complete spectrum of emotions that come with womb loss. This weekend is specifically for women who have experienced loss in pregancy through abortion, miscarriage and stillbirth.

​

The enormity of our loss can often feel like too much to share with those around us, and this beautiful weekend will give you a space to fully honor your loss. To be held in a community of other women who can hold your grief tenderly so that you can continue your journey towards not only peace, but a life of joy once again.
