Honoring Grief & Life Transition Retreat
A Sacred Passage for Women in Transition
You know that feeling...
The ground beneath you has shifted. Perhaps love has ended. Someone you treasured has passed. The life you built no longer fits. You're suspended in that achingly vulnerable space between who you were and who you're becoming.
This breaking open is your portal.
Loss and heartbreak aren't just pain to move through; they're invitations to shed the layers of who you thought you had to be and remember who you truly are.
But you don't have to walk this path alone. With the right guidance, this devastating transition can become your most profound initiation into the life you're meant to live.
This personalized, private 1:1 retreat is designed specifically for women navigating heartbreak, loss, divorce or that unnamed void between chapters when everything feels uncertain.
This isn't about "bouncing back" or "getting over it." This is about honoring the death of what was, tending to your grieving soul and letting this breaking open become your portal to a more authentic life.
Here, in the nurturing container of House of Healing, we create space for all of it. The tears. The rage. The confusion. The quiet moments when hope begins to surface again. You don't have to have it all figured out. You can simply be.
Expect: Shamanic healing ceremonies, daily yoga and meditation, nervous system regulation practices, personal guidance sessions, journaling, time held by the healing landscape of Puglia and co-creating a roadmap for your new life.
Welcome home.
Retreat Experience
Imagine four days in the tranquil countryside of Ostuni, Italy, where ancient olive groves meet whitewashed villages and the Adriatic Sea whispers at the edges.
You arrive carrying the weight of what feels broken. Your heart is tender. Your mind is exhausted from trying to figure it all out. On your first evening, we gather for an opening ceremony, calling in sacred space and protection for the work ahead. Something in your body knows it's safe here.
Each morning begins slowly. You wake in your private sanctuary and start with journaling with a fresh cup of herbal tea on the terrace. Then we gather for yoga and meditation to move your body in ways that release what's been stored in your tissues. These practices help your nervous system remember it's safe to feel again.
Your days are held with intention. We'll journey together through shamanic healing ceremonies, working with ancient practices to clear energetic imprints and restore your vital force. You'll feel the shifts happening as we release what no longer serves you. This is deep soul work that goes beyond what your mind can process.
Between sessions, you have spacious time. Walk among the olive trees. Journal by the window. Let the Italian sun warm your bones. This rest is where integration happens. Your system needs permission to recalibrate and your heart needs space to remember itself.
We'll work with your story through guided reflection and deep inquiry, exploring what's really asking to be seen. Not to fix or analyze, but to witness and honor. Your heartbreak isn't failure. It's the breaking open that leads you back to yourself.
On your final day, we'll work together to create a roadmap for what comes next. Not some perfect plan, but simple practices and rituals you can actually use when life gets loud again.
You leave with practices to support your continued unfolding, integration guidance, and a care package to remind you of this homecoming. Most importantly, you leave knowing you can do this. You are doing this.
This retreat is for you if:
-
You're in the raw, tender aftermath of a significant ending and need held space to fall apart and reassemble
-
You feel lost between chapters and crave clarity about who you're becoming
-
You're ready to honor your grief instead of rushing past it
-
You want to transform your pain into wisdom and your wound into your portal
-
You need permission to slow down and tend to your soul with sacred attention
-
You're seeking a guide who understands that healing isn't linear and transformation isn't comfortable
-
You're ready to come home to yourself, even if you don't yet know what that means
Retreat Options
We can create a retreat of any length, but here's what we typically recommend:
-
4 Days: Enough time to actually land, slow down, and let your system settle into a different rhythm.
-
5-7 Days: More spaciousness for deep work or simply more time to rest, move, and be held by the land.
-
Longer: Some women stay for weeks. If that's calling to you, we can make it happen.
All retreats can be scheduled around your availability. Please contact us directly to book your preferred dates.
