Grief touches every life. It arrives through death and heartbreak, through endings, changes, and the quiet losses we carry within. Yet in our culture, grief is often hidden, silenced, or left unspoken.
Anguish As Alchemy is a sanctuary for honoring these experiences—an intimate gathering designed to help you soften into your grief, explore its lessons, and uncover the transformative power it holds.
Led by death doula and priestess Shiva Honey, this retreat guides you through:
Reflective writing rituals to name and witness your grief experience
Teachings on working with grief as a sacred companion and source of strength
The art of crafting your own personal fragrance as an anchor for remembrance and renewal
A closing community ritual to release, transmute, and reclaim power
Every participant will leave with a handcrafted fragrance of their own making and practices to continue at home—rituals for tending grief with reverence, creativity, and care.
This retreat welcomes all: whether you are moving through fresh loss, tending long-held sorrow, or simply seeking deeper resilience in the face of life’s changes. It is also a nourishing space for health practitioners, community leaders, and those who support others in their grief.
Ticket options start at $111. Spaces are limited to preserve intimacy and depth.
