Question 1

Is this event only for people who’ve recently lost a spouse or partner?

Accepted Answer

No. Whether your loss was recent or years ago, if you’re still navigating life without your person, you’re welcome.

Question 2

Will this be sad or heavy?

Accepted Answer

While grief is acknowledged, this event is about rediscovering joy, connection, and purpose—expect lightness, laughter, and inspiration.

Question 3

I don’t know anyone going—will I feel out of place?

Accepted Answer

You won’t. Most attendees come solo, and we intentionally create space for new friendships and a sense of community.

Question 4

What if I don’t believe in mediums or spiritual messages?

Accepted Answer

That’s okay. We welcome all perspectives. Come with curiosity, be respectful, take what resonates, and leave what doesn’t.

Question 5

Are meals included?

Accepted Answer

Coffee will be served each morning, and lunch is included on Saturday and Sunday.  Please be advised that our food planner needs a minimum of two days' notice to include your registration in our lunch count. If there’s interest, we may even do a casual pizza gathering Saturday night.

Question 6

What should I wear or bring?

Accepted Answer

Wear what makes you feel comfortable. We always recommend a sweater in air conditioning. Bring a notebook if you’d like to jot down thoughts, and anything you need to feel supported during the weekend. Bring a picture of your younger self. Bring a favorite picture of your loved one.

Question 7

What is the parking situation?

Accepted Answer

Lots of free parking is available around the Venice Community Center.

Question 8

Will this help me feel better?

Accepted Answer

We hope so. You’ll leave with tools, insights, and a clearer sense of who you are becoming—and that’s a beautiful beginning.

Question 9

My loved one has a diagnosis and I want to be prepared. Is this for me?

Accepted Answer

This could be helpful; both Dr. Stewart's and John Ferrari Jr's workshops would be directly applicable. Rosemary always leaves proof that life goes on.
