Tending Grief Together Retreat

Spring 2026: March 25 – 29th

“I walk away lighter, having left tears on the altar, and I walk away with a better understanding of what I am experiencing. I feel more equipped to face the storm.” SJ

We all carry grief; each one of us will take our turn experiencing loss and hardship and sorrow. Retreats provide an intentional space to slow down and turn inward. ‘Tending Grief Together’ will integrate movement and meditation practices, silence and wisdom circles, conscious connected breath, educational components and experiential processes. Be held in community by the healing power of nature; replenish your body, mind and soul. Be supported in navigating the terrain of grief with warmth, respect and reverence.

Teresa Renzetti

TERESA RENZETTI tends the wild edges of grief, birth, death and significant thresholds in between. For over two decades, she has walked beside those in transition and thresholds, offering presence, ritual, ceremony and holding, in moments when language falters and hearts speak loudest. Woven from many threads, she blends body work, yoga, somatic therapy, sound healing and ceremony as an act of devotion to the subtle and unseen, the tender and the complex. Turning toward her life with deep devotion and great courage, having navigated extensive loss and cancer, Teresa has become both a midwife and a death doula. Tending the portals at either side of life, she brings great insight, deep compassion and tender care to all her endeavours.

Sharon Abbondanza, C-IAYT

She has a private practice in Vancouver, teaches an extensive online program, and has offered retreats, workshops and trainings internationally for fifteen years. An intuitive and dynamic teacher, Sharon cultivates a soulful learning environment that honours the body as a profound portal to our multidimensionality.
