Sisters to host ‘Tending to Grief’ retreat

Come rest among the trees and silence with the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, during the “Tending to Grief” retreat.

The retreat begins at 9 a.m., Friday, November 6, and concludes at 10 a.m., Sunday, November 8. Retreatants will stay at the Woodhaven Retreat and Guest House at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods.

Through reflection, creativity, embodied practice and ritual, honor what you love, what you’ve lost and what still longs to flourish.

Grief is a common response to loss, change and the realities of witnessing the suffering of human and more-than-human kin. Join facilitator Sister Corbin Hannah, SP, and others during the weekend as you are invited to rest, reflect and engage grief with curiosity, creativity and compassion.

There will be dedicated time and space for exploring grief in the company of others, learning about the nature of grief and how it affects your life, guided experiences in nature, and creative expression and embodiment practices.

There will also be an opportunity for one-on-one sessions with a spiritual director.

Cost to attend is $375 and the registration deadline is Sunday, November 1.

Accommodations will be made available beginning at 3 p.m., Thursday, November 5. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals will be provided with gluten-free and dairy-free options.

There is a limit of 10 participants for this retreat.
