Question 1

Do I need to share my grief with others?

Accepted Answer

No. Participation is entirely optional. You may engage fully in the reflective exercises, observe quietly, journal your responses privately, or share in pairs or the group, whichever if it feels right. The retreat is designed to hold you safely, whether you speak or simply reflect inwardly.

Question 2

Is this suitable if my grief is recent or very raw?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The structure is gentle, intentional, and supportive. You are welcomed exactly as you are, whether your loss is recent or from years ago. The guided reflections and sound meditation provide a contained, restorative and personalised space.

Question 3

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

A photo or item that reflects your loved one to include on the shared altar (completely optional), comfortable clothing, scarf/socks (as body temp drops during meditations). Reflection prompts, and all materials for the retreat, including morning tea, water and lunch, are provided.

Question 4

What is the atmosphere like?

Accepted Answer

Calm, sophisticated, and safe. The retreat takes place in the Library Room of a five-star hotel, with thoughtfully curated sound experiences and reflective exercises. It is a space for gentle connection, emotional exploration, quiet nourishment and is private.

Question 5

Will I feel pressured or uncomfortable at any point?

Accepted Answer

No. All activities are optional and carefully facilitated. You're invited to participate at your own pace, with compassionate guidance throughout the morning. Nicole, your facilitator, is highly qualified to hold reflective spaces and has years of sitting with people who are experiencing grief/loss.
