Wellness Retreat Fall 2026-September 27th, 2026
Our 7th Annual Wellness Retreat — A Sanctuary for the Senses — is a compassionate gathering created for grieving hearts of all kinds. Through intentional experiences designed to engage the five senses, we invite you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find gentle support in community.
This retreat offers space for rest, reflection, education, and healing through experiences such as a sound bath, grounding time in nature, sensory walks, guided breakout groups, and meaningful connection with facilitators and floating therapists throughout the day.
Whether your grief is recent or longstanding, you are welcome to come exactly as you are. This retreat is designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit with compassion, care, and understanding.

Nourishment
Our retreats are thoughtfully catered by Crystal Dunn of Cooking Dunn Right, with an emphasis on whole, seasonal foods that reflect the rhythm of the four seasons. The participants are guided through a nourishing food journey — from the light freshness of spring, to the vitality of summer, the grounding harvest of autumn, and the comfort of winter. Generous donations from local businesses also provide healthy options throughout the retreat.
