Are you ready to move from Grief to Joy?

Come join us for a 6-day retreat/workshop in the Mexican Caribbean in the Riviera Maya!

THE WORKSHOP

Grief can leave us foggy, lethargic, sad, angry, in denial, in bargaining mode, and feeling guilty with should-haves and what-ifs. We can cycle through the stages of grief many times. Just when we think we felt it all, it creeps back in.  Although this person, place, or situation will always have a sacred place of honor in our own unique tapestry of our lives. We can process much so we can come to a resolve and acceptance so that we may continue on in peace and joy. In this uniquely designed workshop, you will be with an intimate group of 9 retreat attendees and 2 group leaders. We will alternate our workshop activities between our private home-based Palapa and our outing sites.
While at sites, we will have private intimate spaces to group, or individually process or carry out activities when necessary. The goal is always for all participants to have room to share or privately process.
This is your personal Journey.
We welcome you to join us and hope your trust in the process will bring relief, comfort, peace and Joy.
Blessed Be ✨
