Grief Retreats: Healing in Community

 

I offer a six-hour retreat program designed for churches or community groups to host a supportive, healing space for those navigating grief. This retreat can be customized to focus on grief after death or loss in a broader sense—such as relational, life transition, or ambiguous loss.

​

The retreat experience includes:

  • Psychoeducation about grief – Understanding how grief affects our emotions, thinking, relationships, and daily life
     

  • Body-based practices – Guided exercises to address how grief is held in the body
     

  • Group discussion – Opportunities for shared reflection and support
     

  • Individual reflection & journaling – Quiet space for personal processing
     

  • Creative expression – Art-based activities to help externalize and explore grief in a meaningful way
     

This program is designed to meet participants where they are—with compassion, flexibility, and respect for each unique grief journey. Whether you’re looking to support your members or offer a resource to your broader community, this retreat provides a structured yet deeply human space for healing.
