Widow Wellness Retreat:
Be with people who “get it”
FLASH SALE: October 1-15, receive $500 off a Single Room; scholarships available
October 24–26 | Holderness, New Hampshire
There’s a weight you carry after losing your person – one most people can’t see. I know that weight. After my husband died, I tried to hold it all together – until I realized no widow should have to carry this alone.
That’s why I created the Widow Wellness Retreat -three days of rest, reflection, and gentle healing surrounded by women who truly understand. Together we’ll share circles, yoga, sound healing, journaling, nourishing meals, and quiet moments in nature.
If you are hesitant, I understand! Let’s talk through what to expect together. Once you fill out an interest form, I will reach out and we will talk.
A special reduced rate ($1,700 private room, inclusive of lodging, meals, healing sessions and any activities) is available through October 15, and scholarships are available – please don’t let cost hold you back.
If your heart has been longing for relief and connection, I’d be honored to welcome you.

Although the “It’s Lifey” retreat had a weekend structure, it was completely flexible and your participation in any of the activities or groups was your choice. There was zero pressure or judgment for not participating—or participating a lot. That being said, the layout was amazing: a group session followed by a fun short outing, with time to relax and eat before another round. The thoughtfulness behind the details of planning a weekend that had the potential to be pretty heavy, but somehow remained pretty light and beautiful, was unparalleled.
I learned there is so much power in community and sharing our stories. Grief looks different for everyone, but the loss of a spouse—be it sudden or after a long-term illness—bonds you in a way that is only understood by your widow sisters. Having never met any of these women before stepping foot on the property, I knew them instantly and I SAW them for who they are—for their pain and sorrow, and also their love and light. It’s not a club any of us want to be a part of, yet I can’t help but feel really special to be a part of this particular group.
This retreat isn’t about comparison—
it’s about connection, comfort, and feeling at home with people who truly understand.
