Grieving is what prepares our hearts for recovery from the trauma of loss. Loss is a universal human experience, yet are we taught ‘good grieving’? Be held between the bush covered hills and the dynamic energy of the ocean. Be nurtured in a safe environment, with compassionate women sharing good food and understanding.
We warmly and enthusiastically invite all women to join us for any, or all of the Te Wahi Ora 2026 CHECK IN Weekends – on the last weekend of each month beginning in March 2026.
There is no cost for CHECK IN Weekend! Please RSVP

Step forward with clarity and confidence
