Bereaved mothers private grief retreat in Costa Rica ~ women only
With Emily Lilapad and Mateo Padilla
Open Dates
From our hearts to yours with so much love.
It would feel strange to write “it brings us pleasure” to be able to share our Grief Retreat offering because it also brings the deepest sadness.
It’s awful to be part of the bereaved parents club ~ we connect in the worst circumstances.
It’s heartbreaking to have this embodied wisdom from experiencing our sweet baby Raiven Surya’s passing.
But it’s also heartwarming to be able to turn our pain into purpose and share the modalities we’ve learned that have helped to ease our pain.
Our heartfelt desire now is to hopefully make your lives ~ as mothers who’ve are going through something so unfathomable ~ a little more bearable.
