This three-day adult bereavement retreat offers a supportive setting to explore grief, build resiliency skills, and develop practical mental health habits. Connect with others who have experienced loss, take time for reflection, and learn tools to support your well-being.

Choose your application

• Paid retreat application: $700 per person. Includes lodging, meals prepared by a private chef, program materials, retreat sessions, and activities. The $700 is collected when you submit the paid application. If your application is not approved, the $700 will be refunded in full. Once approved, the registration fee is non-refundable.
• Apply to be sponsored: $0 to apply. Select this option below if you need financial assistance. Submitting a sponsorship application does not guarantee funding, admission, or a reserved place. Staff will review your application and contact you about the outcome before your attendance is confirmed.

Refundable security deposit: Under the retreat’s existing policy, approved attendees are asked to provide a separate $100 refundable security deposit. Staff will provide payment instructions after approval. This deposit is returned after the retreat provided there is no property damage and the cancellation policies are followed. The deposit is separate from the $700 registration fee, and no deposit is collected with the free sponsorship application.

Please choose one application type per attendee. All applications require staff review. Do not make non-refundable travel arrangements until staff have confirmed your attendance.
