A Spiritual Journey One Day Retreat for Women

Letting go - of things, people, regrets, expectations, our hopes and dreams and eventually life itself - is a universal human journey. And it's one all women struggle with in our own ways. During this day long reheat you can recognize and process your struggles with letting go in a safe and loving environment. 

It is a spiritual journey because, ultimately, letting go is about free-falling into the arms of our loving Father in an ad of trust and faith. And it is a journey worth taking because it will set us free to live in peace and joy.

Whether it happens through miscarriage, stillbirth, or later in life, the death of a child is a deep and tragic loss for parents – and for their hopes and dreams for the future. No matter what the age, cause of death, or how much time has passed, the grief over the loss of a child weighs heavily on the hearts of parents.
