Tending to One's Grieving Heart - Listening for Healing Words


  • Wisdom House Retreat & Conference Center 229 East Litchfield Road Litchfield, CT, 06759 United States (map)

Presented by Lisa Irish, MEd, MA, BCC

How do we heal from loss? We grieve. Our bodies, minds and hearts are created to process loss of all kinds through a sacred journey of grieving. A significant resource on that journey is writing….putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) opens our heart in new ways and supports our desire to heal. This 2 night overnight retreat will offer a safe space for reflection, writing, sharing and stillness. Together, we will give voice to loss and allow time for grief, together we take brave steps toward hope and healing. No writing experience is necessary.

Cost with Meals Included (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner):

Private Ensuite $305 | Private Bedroom, Hall Bath $275
