Program Description

Join us as Claudia guides our community into writing to process grief. Grief needs expression, just as love does, and gathered together for this 3 hour mini-retreat you will find a safe space for you to journal your thoughts  and experiences without censorship or fear of hurting someone’s feelings.

Your brothers and sisters in grief will support you as you write, as Claudia guides you into brave expressions of the various emotions you experience on this journey. Whether you are mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, or the aftermath of a natural disaster–whatever losses you carry–this mini-retreat will offer you the tools to help you find your authentic voice and get your words on the page.

The retreat will be recorded and made available within 48-72 hours of the program. We will send a notification when it is ready for viewing.
