Unraveling Grief: Embracing Life to Heal Retreat
March 18–21, 2021
Are you struggling with the impact of pain and loss in your life?
- Are you someone who has lost a loved member of your family or significant person in your life? Or perhaps grieving the loss of something significant that has left you unable to move forward – a lost relationship, home, job or pet?
- Are your feelings of grief holding you back from acceptance, forgiveness and ultimately healing?
- Are you ready to transform your experience of grief and embrace life more fully?
If so, say “YES” to joining us for a 3-day retreat on the beautiful Unity Village campus outside Kansas City, Missouri, with sacred walking trails, meditation garden and chapel, world-class rose garden and fountains, quiet places for personal reflection, labyrinth, coffee shop and bookstore among the many special features of this little bit of paradise in the Midwest.
You will be gently guided into deep and empowering transformational exercises and interpersonal activities, meditative transformation shifts, gong vibrational healing, musical enrichment and powerful sharing in support of each person’s personal journey of healing pain, loss and grief to reclaim a meaningful experience of life, a sense of gratitude and wholeness.
Leave with a new realization of how honoring the gift revealed within grief is the legacy of the love you grieve, as a spiritual last will and testament from your personal loss.
