A private grief retreat
Come Be Held
Grief isn't something to get over. It's something to be held through.
Begin with a callIs this you?
Something ended. A person, a marriage, a diagnosis, a life you didn't choose to leave. The world moved on and quietly expects you to have moved with it. You haven't.
What we know
Around 12.5 million Americans lose someone close every year, and an hour of support a week often isn't enough room for it.
The Ethos, on grief retreats.
Grieving people say what helps most is understanding what grief does to us, mindful presence, being truly understood, and connection.
Study of a mindfulness-based grief retreat, University of Arizona.
Consecutive days in nature give grief space to move instead of being squeezed between meetings.
How your days unfold (3 days, 2 nights)
Day 1 · Arrive as you are
No expectations, no one to be strong for. A quiet dinner, a warm dome, rest.
Day 2 · Honor what you lost
A private session with me, a ritual at the fire circle for the person or the life you're grieving, a letter you may keep or let go to the fire.
Day 3 · Carry them forward
Breath and sound to help the body release what it's been holding, a walk on the land, and a gentle way to bring this love with you.
The 5 days, 4 nights retreat adds bodywork, Watsu, a day in the forest and more time together.
You'll leave with: A little more room to breathe, and a ritual that's yours.
