Welcome to the Circle

Thank you for your interest in joining us. By registering, you are saying yes to entering a carefully held space where grief can be witnessed, honored, and transformed in community.

Whether you arrive carrying fresh sorrow, old wounds, ancestral grief, or simply a longing to reconnect with your heart, you are welcome here. Come exactly as you are. There is nothing to fix and nothing to perform—only an invitation to be present with yourself and alongside others on this shared human journey.

Because the depth of this work depends on trust and intimacy, space is intentionally limited.

Registration Steps

The total retreat cost is $650, which includes:

3. Confirmation

Once we receive your registration and deposit, you'll receive a brief confirmation email letting you know your place has been reserved.

Closer to the retreat in November, you'll receive a more detailed welcome email that includes:

  • The retreat address and arrival instructions

We look forward to gathering with you in circle and creating a space where grief can move, the heart can open, and ritual can remind us that we do not walk this path alone.
