Carrying grief is heavy. It can feel suffocating and relentless — settling into the body and weighing on the heart and mind. But grief is also holy. It bears witness to the deep and abiding love we carry for a child uniquely and perfectly created by God. In healing grief, the goal is not to say goodbye. Your baby can still be in your life in memorable and meaningful ways.

This retreat offers quiet reflection in nature, somatic-based practices to help release grief held in the body, guided journaling, and prayer—creating room to receive God’s grace and healing presence in our hearts.

In a space where your story is safe and honored, you will be reminded that you do not carry this alone.

Journals and light refreshments provided.

Saturday, Nov 7th 9:00-12:30pm
