Grief Retreat
Are you looking for a gentle and guided way to work through a period of grief?
Do you have the desire to harness your own healing powers as you navigate a hard loss?
Are you interested in cultivating a deeper connection with your spiritual self while experiencing a loss?
Please consider joining Molly on a Grief retreat in Nayarit, Mexico. For more than a decade, knowing that there is a lack of spiritual and emotional support for people going through loss in their lives, Molly dreamed of these retreats for people in grief as a way to contain, direct and integrate the experience of profound loss. Following the death of her sister, Molly became even more aware of the need for such opportunities for dealing and healing in bereavement.
These life-affirming retreats greatly benefit people who are in mourning, processing past or future losses, and those wishing to increase and deepen their spiritual life and connection to divine presence through the experience of loss. They are also for yoga teachers, therapists, hospice workers, chaplains, clinicians and others in pastoral care, “death doulas,” or for those simply interested in learning more about being with people at the end of life, offering solace, presence and appropriate movement and touch.
In your time together, you will share space with Molly in La Ermita, a meditative sanctuary in a small coastal town in Nayarit, Mexico. You will be working on developing your own spiritual foundation, movement and breath practices, contemplative tradition, meditation and journaling. There are also elements of relaxation and exploration, adventure and culture. These retreats are custom designed for the individual (or small family group) and each one is a unique experience.
Here is a basic outline:
The retreats are 7 days. You arrive the first night and settle in. Your room will be set up with flowers, food, good smelling things and an altar of your loves and losses.
Full days 1 - 6 include daily 2 hour morning sessions with Molly, working through various aspects of grief including telling our stories, family dynamics, techniques for self-soothing, and future planning. They also include a 90 minute evening session to integrate the day.
Retreats include two acupuncture sessions and two massages, as well as a sweat lodge.
There is a beach ritual and breakfast on the morning you leave.
The total cost is $2800 and includes all sessions with Molly, accommodations, tender care, acupuncture and massage sessions, sweat lodge, food for the room, flowers.
It does not include meals other than the simple meals I prepare and leave in the room. It includes a ride from the airport to Lo de Marcos, but not return.
