Healing Loss- Through Conscious Grieving & Writing


  • Wisdom House Retreat & Conference Center 229 East Litchfield Road Litchfield, CT, 06759 United States (map)

Presented by Lisa Irish, MEd, MA, BCC

How do we heal from loss? We grieve. Our bodies, minds and hearts are created to process loss of all kinds through a sacred journey of grieving. A significant resource on that journey is writing….putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) opens our heart in new ways and supports our desire to heal. This 1 night overnight retreat will offer a safe space for reflection, writing, sharing and stillness. Together, we will give voice to loss and allow time for grief, together we take brave steps toward hope and healing. No writing experience is necessary.

Lisa Irish, MEd, MA, BCC incorporates her experience in chaplaincy and spiritual direction to support tender moments of insight and prayer.  Of her book, Grieving – the Sacred Art:  Hope in the Land of the Loss, Fr. Richard Rohr says….”the roadmap is wise, but sensitive – grounded in hope – and reminds us to rest in God’s healing love.”
