Taking time away from our lives to be with our grief is an important part of a grieving process.
It allows for healing to happen, so that we can re-enter our life with a renewed perspective and vitality. Grief retreats with Siobhan offer opportunities for participants to explore and to tend to their grief with others through deep ritual connection with the wild lands, storytelling, movement practices, song, ritual and crafting.
