Find Respite in Your Grief

In the splendor of nature and sacred places, our grief retreats explore stories that focus on grief, presentations on the nature and dynamics of grief, small group discussions, and spiritual practices designed to promote comfort. A Faith & Grief weekend retreat provides you time and a safe space to process your grief in a community with others.

What participants are saying . . .

“It gave me a place to share, learn, and help others. It was a safe place to cry, laugh, make a joke, or silently sit without fear of judgment. I learned very quickly that if I was going to survive this journey, not of my choosing, I needed to accept all the help God put in front of me.”
– Retreat participant

“I cannot put my finger on it, but it helped me SO much. I feel like my burden of grief has been lifted and lessened. It was grueling and wonderful. It was actually kind of miraculous!”
– Retreat participant
