About this event
Grief can feel like too much. Too heavy to carry. Too lonely to name. Too permanent to move through.
This is for the people who are tired of pretending they’re okay. Who wake up to silence and go to bed with longing. Who carry love and pain in the same breath.
"A Journey From Grief Toward Joy" isn’t about forcing joy. It’s about inviting it back into your life—when you’re ready.
In this three-day gathering, we’ll meet you where you are. With truth. With compassion. With people who have walked this road, too.
You’ll experience:
Rosemary Altea — Internationally renowned spiritual medium serves as the Voice of the Spirit World, helping those who have crossed over communicate with those still here. Her presence offers deep comfort and evidence that love does not end with death.
- Christine Olson, Inspirational Speaker & Founder of TIFF - Christine's story of tragedy has become a movement that now protects over 22 million lives, demonstrating how grief can transform into purpose.
- Kristine Benevento — Inspirational author, widow, peer mentor, and facilitator. Her loss has opened this opportunity for you.
- Dr. Diane Stewart — Alternative holistic chiropractor, sharing how grief physically manifests in the body, and what can help
- Jack Ferrari Jr. Esq. — Legal expert on end-of-life planning, offering tools and practical guidance to prepare and protect yourself and your loved ones
- Dr. Jack Giddens — Author, board-certified healthcare chaplain and transpersonal psychotherapist, teaching how different spiritual paths understand grief, and how to measure emotional and spiritual comfort
This is not a lecture. It’s a lifeline. You won’t be asked to move on. You’ll be invited to move forward with community, courage, and a flicker of hope.
You may cry. You may laugh. You may finally breathe again.
We won’t promise joy. But we’ll promise you won’t walk this alone.
Seats are limited. This is a small, intimate gathering.
