Eligibility:

​​

  • I think learning about people's past experiences and feelings has made me realize that what I have been going through is part of the process of healing, and we are all struggling to get to a more peaceful place.
     

  • Calmer, I can look back on happier times instead of dwelling on my loss. This weekend, I found ways of going forward.
     

  • This retreat put me in touch with my sense of loss, and given me a sense of hope and opportunity.
