Gold Hill, NC
A 3-Day Ceremony of
Grief, Beauty & Belonging
Grief is not something to fix — it is something to tend.
In a world that often asks us to move on too quickly, this retreat offers a sacred pause: a chance to breathe, to feel, and to remember that grief is holy ground. Join me for a gentle, soul-rooted retreat designed to honor the weight you carry and the wisdom it holds. Held in the loving embrace of the land, this experience blends earth-based ritual, plant spirit connection, embodied movement, and sacred community to support your journey through sorrow, remembrance, and transformation.
Do You Ever Feel Like You Are
Carrying Your Grief Alone?
Grief can be an isolating terrain — heavy, unspoken, and often misunderstood. This retreat will be a sanctuary for your sorrow — a place where you don’t have to carry it alone. In our time together, we will honor what has been lost, compost what no longer serves, and make space for what wants to rise. Come as you are. Bring your heartbreak, your tenderness, your questions, your memories. You will be met with warmth, reverence, and a circle of kindred souls walking this same path of healing.
During this retreat, you’ll be held in:
🌑 Grief rituals & ceremonies
🔥 Communal despacho offering and fire release
🕊 Guided breathwork & meditation
🌱 Somatic grief practices (yoga, movement, stillness)
🌿 Time with nature, song, and silence
💧 A safe container for tears, prayers, and deep presence
💆♀️ Optional Therapeutic Massage (for an additional fee)
with LMT Rebekah Coggins
Whether you are grieving a person, a relationship, a version of yourself, or the ache of the world —
you are welcome here.
We will not ask you to move on.
We will walk with you as you move through —
So that what has been lost can become the ground from which you rise again.
