Transformational Grief Retreats for Suicide Loss

Healing Together, One Sacred Step at a Time

When someone you love dies by suicide, your world fractures.

Time stops. Meaning dissolves. Your nervous system spins between numbness and overwhelm. You might be functioning on the outside—but inside, you’re drowning in grief, guilt, confusion, and questions no one can answer.

Our “From Pain to Purpose” Suicide Grief Retreats offer a sacred space for healing—away from daily pressures, inside the quiet presence of nature, and supported by therapeutic guidance grounded in compassion, science, and personal understanding.

Why Retreat?

Grief after suicide is unlike any other. It’s traumatic. Complex. Often silenced or misunderstood.

These retreats were created for people like you—those navigating the raw landscape of sudden, devastating loss. Whether you are early in your grief or years down the road but still feel stuck, this retreat provides a container for deep, embodied healing.

What to Expect

Our retreats combine the safety of trauma-informed therapy with the power of community, rest, and reconnection.

During your time with us, you’ll experience:

• EMDR Group Therapy — to help gently process traumatic memories and emotional triggers
• Guided therapeutic grief coaching sessions — grounded in evidence-based models like Continuing Bonds, Worden’s Tasks of Mourning, and the Dual Process Model
• Group sharing & witness circles — in a confidential, non-judgemental setting
• Movement and singing activities – to help ground the body and release more emotions
• Creative & reflective self time — honouring your loved one and your evolving identity
• Nourishing food, restful surroundings, and integration time
• Optional: grounding practices like walking meditations, nature-based reflection, and journaling (no forced participation)
• Optional: Additional days of individual EMDR for those wishing to delve deeper into their trauma (prices on request).

This is not a wellness retreat with platitudes and yoga mats.

This is a therapeutic sanctuary for the broken-hearted. A place where your grief is seen as sacred. And your healing is honoured as possible.

Who It’s For

These retreats are for anyone grieving the suicide of a loved one—including partners, siblings, parents, adult children, or close friends.

You may be:

Struggling to cope with daily life
Experiencing flashbacks or emotional dysregulation
Feeling lost in guilt, anger, or shame
Isolated, despite having supportive people around you
Longing for peace, purpose, or even just one breath of relief

We welcome all genders, backgrounds, and beliefs. Whether you are religious, spiritual, secular, or unsure—your grief belongs here.
