About this trip

Welcome to a sacred journey of healing, connection, and renewal. The Grief Space Retreat is a unique experience designed to create a compassionate environment where your grief can rest and be acknowledged, transforming pain into connection and resilience. 


Here, we understand that grief is the deep love left behind when a loved one is no longer physically present. Through daily practices and guided experiences, we will create a healing space to help you connect with the energy of your loved one and move forward with a sense of peace.


Led by Leigh-Ann Larson, a spirit medium, psychotherapist, and grief educator, this retreat combines evidence-based healing practices with spiritual connection to guide you through grief in a supportive and nurturing setting. Here’s a glimpse of what the retreat offers:

Transformational Practices

  • Daily Meditation: Ground yourself each day with meditative practices that help calm the nervous system and open the heart. By focusing on connecting to energy beyond ourselves, we create a powerful foundation for connection, healing, and peace.
  • Mediumship and Spiritual Connection: Guided by Leigh-Ann, explore the realm of mediumship and afterlife communication. Each participant will have the opportunity for a one-on-one mediumship reading in a gallery setting, allowing you to connect with a loved one on the other side.
  • EMDR and Bilateral Stimulation: Experience EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a powerful method for releasing trauma stored in the body. By processing emotions beyond sadness, EMDR can help you open to a fuller experience of your loved one’s energy.
  • Symbolism and Signs from Beyond: Dive into research and discussions on signs, symbols, and afterlife communications that bring comfort and healing. Learn to recognize and interpret signs that might appear around you, offering reassurance that love never truly leaves.

Venue: A Nature-Inspired Sanctuary

Nestled at 5,000 feet in a secluded forest, our private retreat center is crafted to immerse you in the tranquility of nature while providing luxurious comfort. You'll stay in hand-built wood cabins, thoughtfully constructed from reclaimed cypress sourced on-site. Here, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the forested hillside, luxurious linens, and the peaceful seclusion of nature.

Accommodation Highlights

  • Luxury Cabins: Each of the 12 cabins features queen-sized beds, en suite baths, and outdoor decks, comfortably accommodating 20 guests.
  • Stunning Natural Surroundings: Wander through 100 acres of lush, regenerated forests with scenic trails and gardens that encourage contemplation and connection.
  • Wildlife and Hummingbird Sanctuary: Marvel at over 20 species of hummingbirds and catch glimpses of native wildlife like coatis, deer, and more.
  • Nature Paths and River Access: With private river access, forest trails, and mountain paths, you’ll have space to roam, reflect, and restore.
  • Bonfire Spots: Two bonfire locations invite us to gather, share stories, and connect under the stars.

This Grief Space Retreat invites you to move beyond isolation and into the warmth of understanding, compassion, and spiritual connection. Join us in a place where grief and love can coexist, bringing you closer to healing, peace, and the everlasting presence of those who have journeyed before you.
