Question 1

Do I need to be recently widowed or “healed enough” to attend?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Women join us at every stage of widowhood - from early grief to many years beyond. What unites us isn’t how long it’s been, but the shared desire for connection, renewal, and joy.
Grief is always welcome here - so is laughter, lightness, and everything in between. You never have to hide your feelings or “be okay.”
We do recommend that anyone who has experienced a very recent loss participate in some type of therapy or grief support (group or private) before attending, as the retreat experience is best suited for those ready to explore what comes next.

Question 2

I don’t know anyone else going. Is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. In fact, most women come solo. You’ll be warmly welcomed into a circle of instant sisterhood - women who understand your story without you needing to explain it. By the end of the first day, you’ll wonder how you ever traveled without them.

Question 3

What’s included?

Accepted Answer

Almost everything! Your retreat includes:
Beautiful accommodations for the entire stay
Delicious, chef-prepared meals, snacks, and beverages
All guided experiences, excursions, and workshops
Airport transfers on arrival and departure days
Expert facilitation and full on-the-ground support
Essentially, once you arrive, everything is taken care of. All you need to do is show up, breathe, and receive.
Airfare and travel insurance are not included, but travel insurance is highly recommended for peace of mind.

Question 4

Is it safe to travel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our retreats are fully supported and led by experienced facilitators who are familiar with the destination. Every detail, from transportation to accommodations, is carefully planned so you can relax, feel cared for, and fully enjoy your experience.

Question 5

Do I need to participate in every activity?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. This is your retreat, your time, and your healing journey.
Each day offers a range of activities and experiences designed to nourish you. We do hope you will take advantage of all the activities and the time to connect with others, but everything is optional.  You get to choose what feels right for you.

Question 6

Who is this retreat for?

Accepted Answer

This retreat is for widows ready to rediscover joy, connection, and meaning. Whether you’re newly navigating life alone or years into your journey, this experience offers space to slow down, breathe and remember who you are. 
It’s for the woman who feels brave for saying yes to herself, for taking that first trip alone, yet knowing she won’t be alone once she arrives.
It’s for the woman who longs to feel at ease again, to breathe deeply, to laugh freely, and to rediscover the parts of herself she thought were gone.
No prior retreat or travel experience is necessary - only an open heart and a willingness to receive.
(Sorry, no men allowed!)

Question 7

What if I have special dietary needs?

Accepted Answer

No problem at all - we’ve got you covered!
We happily accommodate most common dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and food allergies.
Before the retreat, you’ll receive a form to share any dietary preferences or restrictions, and our team will work closely with the chef to make sure you’re well cared for.
If you have more complex dietary needs, please reach out in advance so we can explore options together.
