10:00 AM to 5:01 PM

Everyone one of us has experienced loss in some form. Unfortunately, many of us haven’t had access to tools and safe spaces to be witnessed; to integrate our grief.

Join Satya (Vedic Priestess Temple) and Sarah Jane Smith Lyons (The Nest Yoga and Embodied Possibility) in a safe, sacred space to connect with others and be less isolated in your grief.

Through movement, breathwork, reflective journaling and ceremony, we will bring understanding, self-compassion and awareness to how grief is showing up, held, and released. We will also learn ancient traditional yogic practices from India that tune us into holding, working with, and integrating our grief.

This retreat is anchored in the work of world-renowned grief specialist and author Francis Weller, specifically his Five Gates of Grief. Together, we will build a toolkit to support your grief tending throughout the darker months of winter.

Nestled in the beautiful forest of Salt Spring Island, on the traditional unceded territory of the Hul’q’umi’num’ and SENĆOŦEN (Coast Salish) speaking peoples, Enso Oceanfront Retreat Centre is an ideal location for this gathering that considers the body, mind, heart and spirit.

While death is the most commonly recognized source of grief, many other life experiences result in grief.

​All forms of loss are welcome at this retreat.

Investment: $200 including a vegetarian lunch
