Pregnancy and baby loss day retreat, 8 June 2025
Our Summer pregnancy and baby loss day retreat, for women and birthing folk, will blend gentle activities to honour grief, love, and loss, in a beautiful calming outdoor setting, in Wiltshire. Ensuring plenty of time for break-out space for more informal connections between participants and individual reflection.
We are not here to tell you how to grieve or heal, simply to support and nurture your process.
There is no time limit on when your bereavement(s) took place. Your loss can have happened at any point in your lifetime. Grief has no time limit or hierarchy.
The retreat 10am-3pm includes:
-
Wild swimming and hot outdoor shower
-
Creative journaling
-
Aromatherapy blending
-
Breath work and meditation
-
Gentle and warm opening and closing circles
-
Plus time to explore the beautiful outdoor space, engage in conversation with others, take time for peace and relaxation.
(all activities are optional)
A delicious brunch with a plentiful supply of tea and soft drinks are also included in the day.
The day will be facilitated by Michelle, Emily and Charlie.
