OVERVIEW:

‘Healing of the Heart’ is a retreat that was created to offer bereaved mothers a space where they would find tranquility, solace and relaxation.

An unbreakable bond is formed through these 4-day weekends, a tribe and a new family evolve.

Our goal is to create a peaceful space for bereaved mamas by offering healing techniques, group discussions and activities, personal reflections and other methods to assist in the healing process.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Whole group and small group discussions: Being with other bereaved mamas is something most of us find so rare, yet incredibly comforting and powerful. During the retreat, you will have an opportunity to participate in several whole group and small group discussions. Topics include, but not limited to, social interactions, surviving siblings, faith based conversations, spousal discussions and much more.

Meditation and Relaxation through Yoga and other methods: Yoga is defined as a spiritual discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple mediation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practiced for health and relaxation. Yoga and light stretching activities will be available in the morning, serving as a relaxing and peaceful way to start each day.

Memorial Projects: There will be several memorial projects offered throughout our time together. It is a time to reflect on and remember our beloveds through a tangible process, either independently or as a group.

Personal Reflection: As adults, mothers, career women, spouses, daughters, friends...the list of roles we take on daily is endless. Take in some moments during the retreat for personal reflection and remembrance of your child and your journey, as we believe this independent time is an essential part of the healing process.

Sharing Our Loved Ones: As grieving mothers we can often feel alienated from the rest of the world. For most of us, we rarely get the chance to talk about our children with the outside world. Use this weekend as a platform to talk to and about them- sharing as much or as little of your journey as you feel comfortable. We will say their names, and we will honor and remember them- all while taking much needed time for yourself and your personal healing.
