Retreat Leaders: Amy Jaffe Barzach and Robin H. Clare

Have you ever wondered why a loss of any kind has such a dramatic impact on your life? Unfortunately, you are not alone in this experience.  

After all, loss comes in many forms - including the trials and tribulations of everyday life, the loss of your job or identity, or the death or end of a relationship with a loved one.  

In this supportive, empowering, comfortable retreat, you will learn how to surrender your suffering and welcome in the grace of healing.

This retreat is for you if you have experienced loss and want to gain a renewed zest for life.
