RETREATS
There is power in being together — in shared presence, shared grief, and shared healing.
Grief isn’t something we move past — it’s something we learn to carry. And sometimes, that learning needs space — quiet space, tender space, shared space.
Still Held Retreats offer a place for mothers who have known the deep ache of losing a child — a place where no one needs to explain, because we already understand. Here, you can rest from the weight of pretending to be okay. You can speak your child’s name, cry, laugh, and simply be among others who get it.
We’ll be offering two Still Held Retreats in Ontario in 2026 — one in the spring and one in the fall.
These gatherings are being created with deep care, intention, and love.
We want you there.
We want you to come as you are — to rest, to remember, and to be gently held in the company of those who understand.
We hope you’ll join us.
Are these retreats for you?
You might be longing for this retreat if:
Your baby loss has reshaped your life, and you want space to simply be with it.
You want to be around others who get it, without needing to explain.
You’re ready for quiet — a pause from the noise, the pressure, the pretending.
You’re craving connection, not counseling.
You’ve felt untethered and want to feel grounded again — in your body, in nature, in community.
You’re seeking gentleness — a place where grief is allowed to breathe.
What this retreat isn’t:
It’s not only for one kind of loss — Whether you said goodbye to your baby early in pregnancy or held an infant in your arms — your story, your grief, and your love all belong here.
It’s not therapy, and it’s not a formal support group.
It’s not a space where you have to share your story — you can speak, or stay silent.
It’s not about “moving on” or finding silver linings.
It’s not about fixing yourself or adding a silver lining to your story - it’s about resting in what is.
There is no hierarchy of loss, no comparison, no measure of pain. Here, every loss is sacred. Every mother is welcome.
