“SO, I HAD THIS AHA MOMENT I NEVER WOULD HAVE PREDICTED, AND WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU. YOUR TEACHINGS ON GRIEF HELPED TO BEGIN MY "UNRAVELLING" ...BUT THE GOOD KIND ;) LOL.⁠
⁠
I REALIZED, THAT GRIEF CHANGES. HOLY SH#%T!? ⁠
⁠
I HAD BEEN IN A STATE OF GRIEF SINCE MY FIRST MOTHER DIED WHEN I WAS 14. I NEVER REALIZED IT. THEN, ONE MORNING - THERE IS STILL THE MISSING, AND LONGING FOR ALL OF THEM, SO MANY DEAD I HAVE. ⁠
⁠
BUT...WITHOUT THIS POIGNANT PAINFUL PART THAT MAKES ME PANIC. IT WAS ALMOST SAD WHEN IT WENT AWAY - LIKE LOSING SOMETHING SO PAINFUL BUT FAMILIAR. JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU. THANKS AGAIN!”⁠

🌹🌹🌹A rose is a rose not in spite of it’s thorns but because of them. ⁠
⁠
Grief is not something to hide. It’s what makes us human. It is beautiful. ⁠
⁠
🙅🏽‍♀️It's the soul's refusal to pretend that love doesn't cost us everything, or that being human doesn't break our hearts open again and again.⁠
⁠
🌊Something beautiful happens when we learn to trust grief's initiation process. ⁠
⁠
Not because we've "gotten over" our losses, but because we've developed the capacity to dive deeper when the Soul calls. ⁠
⁠
Like baby seals that have grown and moved from shallow water to ocean depths - not because the shallows weren't real, but because experience has taught us we can trust our ability to both dive deep and make our way back to the surface as needed. ⁠
⁠
Want to dive deeper with support? We have several programs open for enrollment at this time - both online and our Soul Song retreat in October (early bird registration closes July 1st) ...comment SUPPORT for more details or check out the link in our bio. ⁠

In the deep hush of grief, our Soul calls us home

In the deep hush of grief, our Soul calls us home - to love, to purpose, to profound remembering. 🌿⁠
⁠
From October 3–6, 2025, join us at the Soul Song Retreat, nestled at Halfmoon Haven on the Sunshine Coast, BC.⁠
A four‑day sanctuary of guided ritual rooted in grief, gratitude, and reclaiming the wild song of your soul ⁠
⁠
This is not a place for fixing. It’s a place to allow what is broken to rest. For deep ritual. For seeing and being seen. For feeling our grief and rediscovering joy .⁠
⁠
We open 12 spaces for seekers and tender hearts - 5 remain - BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, and all who are called are welcomed with care ⁠
⁠
If grief has unsettled you, or life has asked more than you’re ready to give - this is your sanctuary. Together we'll tend grief, rest deep, and remember who we are in community.⁠
⁠
Early Bird Pricing ends July 1, 2025.⁠
