“Your fate is not yet sealed. Even in the darkest night, a star will shine, a bell will chime, a path will be revealed.” ~ Pam Munoz Ryan

Grief can leave you feeling overwhelmed and alone, but social support can help ease these feelings of loneliness. Even within sorrow, there is room for hope. If you’re searching for support and relief, we invite you to join us for a special day retreat Finding Hope in Grief: A Day of Comfort and Connection at the peaceful, beautiful Well of Mercy.

Led by Heidi Gessner and inspired by her book, Pockets of Grace: Lessons from Darkness, Lessons from Light, this retreat guides you through four healing pathways: 

  • the natural world, 
  • using your creativity, 
  • defining what is most sacred to you,
  • connecting with your deepest self. 

With compassionate support and guidance, Heidi will help you notice often unexpected grace-filled moments in the midst of grief.

Come spend the day with us, reflecting, creating, and nurturing your spirit. Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot soon. Lunch will be provided.  Wear comfortable clothes and bring a water bottle and a journal.

We look forward to sharing this healing journey with you.
