Held:
A Healing Retreat for Honoring Grief and Reconnecting to What’s Possible
In these wild and tender times, many of us are carrying grief in our bodies – personal, ancestral, collective.
Held is an intimate, 3-day retreat to honor what you’ve been carrying - old grief, quiet grief, the grief of the world – and invite it to move through.
Through embodied practice, ceremony, shamanic journeying, rest, reflection, and community, we’ll tend what hurts, honor what’s been lost, release, and make space for what’s possible.
This is a space to reconnect – to your body, your joy, your breath, and your capacity to meet the world with an open heart.
Early Bird Bonus:
Everyone who registers by July 20 will be invited to join our Bonus Retreat Circle in August.
This mini virtual retreat (2 hours) will help you begin grounding and preparing - emotionally, energetically, and practically - for an amazing retreat experience.We'll weave gentle nervous system practices, somatic reflection, and intention-setting to prepare the path ahead, connect with the group, and help you arrive more fully to retreat weekend.

During the early enrollment period, we’re offering this retreat at a sliding scale as part of a shared commitment to equity - and because we believe that healing, ceremony, and connection should be accessible, especially in times like these.
You’re invited to choose the level that feels most aligned with your current resources:
- to receive what you need,
- to contribute what you can,
- or to give more to help make this possible for someone else.
There’s no need to justify your choice.
We look forward to sharing space with you.
These options below are early bird pricing, available up until July 20.
