Retreat Leaders: Megan Shelly and Katie Robb Sewall
Whatever the context of your loss, whether a loved-one, a dream, a life-expectation, a global crisis, whether recent or long-passed, you are invited to explore the complex landscape of grief on this weekend retreat. Together we honor our losses and seek a path forward towards wholeness and connection. We find solace in the wilderness of grief through the support, compassion, and wisdom of community. There will be opportunities to tell your unique story, give shape to your grief through creative expression, ponder the beauty and mercy embedded in your grief, spend time in solitude, rest, play, and the outdoors. A full itinerary will be provided prior to the retreat.
