Retreat Vision
Part of your heart goes with the child that dies. After the deepest sorrow, we keep walking—we try to find meaning and live wholeheartedly despite our loss. The intention of this holistic retreat is to create a safe place to nurture yourself, connect with the child you have lost, and discover a community of people who have walked the same steps you have and with whom you can find meaning, growth, and transformation.
Nurture Yourself
Our lives are always busy. When we have experienced losses on the journey to parenthood, it is hard to find time and space to tend to ourselves. Therefore, we imagined this retreat as a break from all of that—a chance to practice unconditional love for yourself. This is a gift you are giving yourself, to honor you, your loss experience, and your journey. Come and be taken care of. Let yourself rest. Nurture your body and spirit.
Find Connection
Many people connect with their loss experience through grief and pain, however there are other ways to find this connection. No matter your beliefs, finding ways to connect with your love, loss, and your baby are supportive to the grieving process. Everyone has their own unique ways to connect with their loss experience and babies. This retreat is a place to explore this connection.
Find Community
It is an essential part of the grieving process that you do not feel alone or isolated. You will have the opportunity to make connections in a brave and sacred environment with others who have been through a similar experience—whether it be infertility and recurrent loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, infant death, or toddler death. This is a time for you to take off the mask you wear every day and be your true self. You will form friendships that will support you and your journey long after the retreat is over.
