I am thrilled to share some of what I have been working on! This retreat has been created for you to enter into a sacred space, share your miscarriage story and listen to others who have walked similar paths, journey through your miscarriage experience, and find meaning and healing through ritual exercises like candle lighting, music, art, and walking the labyrinth. Please, join us this March on Mercer Island for a beautifully restorative event.
