 A space to step away, be supported, and spend time understanding your grief. 

What This Is

You have been carrying this for a while now. Maybe you have tried to push through it. Maybe you have been waiting to feel better.

This weekend is for you — when you are ready to stop waiting and start understanding.

This retreat is a small, supported gathering for people who are ready to step away from the noise of everyday life and give themselves something they rarely get: time, space, and care.

There’s no timeline here. No expectation for where you should be in it.

There is no fixing here — only understanding, expression, and time to be.

What’s Included

  • Two-night stay at Hartzell House, with time and space to step away from everyday life
  • Four guided grief gatherings throughout the weekend — creating space to understand your grief, share what you’re carrying, and explore what you need now
  • Gentle grief movement practices to help you connect with and express what you may be carrying in your body — no experience needed and chair options are available
  • Nourishing meals, thoughtfully prepared and shared together
  • Time to rest and simply be, with open space built into the weekend rather than a packed schedule
  • A small, intimate group, allowing for connection, conversation, and support
  • Tools and practices to take home and continue using after the weekend
  • A Sunday visit to Kentuck Knob, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most beloved homes

Pricing is per person, per night — and includes your accommodations, all meals, and everything in the retreat.

Our November 6–8 retreat is nearly full, and we’ve added a second weekend: November 13–15. There is still availability for both weekends.

Please Note
Transportation to and from Hartzell House is not included.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.

Grief is not something to push through. It is something to understand. And when you do — everything shifts.

This weekend is here when you are ready.
