Join me and my dear colleague, counsellor and spiritual director Sharon Soderholm for a transformative day designed to guide us through the tender landscape of loss and the profound beauty of appreciation. We will create a sacred and supportive space to acknowledge, honour, and integrate our experiences of grief, while simultaneously cultivating a deeper connection to gratitude.
Weaving together reflection and ritual, music and poetry, guided journaling, time for individual contemplation and conversation with kind souls, this will be a slow paced and restorative retreat. Included in our day together will be a time to create a handmade gratitude & grief journal with a simple book binding technique. A delicious lunch is provided!
“The soul requires duration of time…rich, thick, deep, velvety time…and it thrives on rhythm. Souls can’t be hurried or harried.”
