With Karen Hicks & Jeff Orr

Grief isn’t a problem to fix—it’s a process to honour.

Whether you're mourning a person, a role, a past version of yourself, or the belongings left behind… this retreat is a chance to stop holding it all together and start healing in a way that makes sense for you.

You’ll be seen.
You’ll be supported.
You’ll be changed.

Facilitated by Karen Hicks, wellbeing expert, and Jeff Orr, estate clearing expert, this one-day retreat gently bridges the emotional and the practical—because healing doesn’t happen in silence or chaos. It happens when you create space to feel, reflect, release, and reclaim.

Together we will experience:

·       Journaling prompts that help you process what feels unfinished

·       Connect to your heart’s intelligence

·       Emotional release practices that invite light into the heaviness

·       Real-world tools for letting go of physical items with compassion

·       A guided framework to help you feel less overwhelmed and more in control

This is not just a retreat. It’s a re-entry into your life—with clarity, strength, and grace.

Come to reconnect with the part of you that got lost in the loss.
Come to learn how to begin letting go without letting yourself down.
Come to leave with a plan, a shift, and a sense of peace you didn’t think was possible.

Held at the beautiful Giving Place Lavender Farm, this retreat offers the stillness you crave and the transformation you need.

Spots are limited and filling quickly
Reserve your space and begin the journey back to yourself—with guidance, with tools, and with understanding.
