Is a Transformational Healing Retreat for YOU? 

It is if...

  • You are impacted by grief from loss in life? For any reason?

  • Your feelings are holding you back from acceptance, forgiveness and ultimately healing? ...

  • You are wondering if there is a way to move forward to embrace life and thrive after loss?  

  • Your grief is triggered by the thought of upcoming holiday or anniversary dates and don't know how you will navigate through them?

                                         

THEN...you ARE ready to say 'YES' to discovering the hidden gifts within grief by joining us at one of our grief healing retreats!

Our retreats allow for a time to explore how unraveling grief to embrace life to thrive can be an opportunity to honor ourselves in a new and transformed way. We invite you to support your own healing and transformation this year by saying “YES" to joining us for one of our empowering virtual in-person retreats (when safe to offer) in 2022! Each one a time to heal by releasing, renewing, replenishing and relaxing!

About Our Retreats

Unity Awakening Ways is proud to present empowering virtual and on-site retreats facilitated by Rev. Meghan Smith Brooks and Teri Wilder. These amazing retreat leaders will lead you through powerful and transforming healing processes based on their personal experiences of pain and loss in life, offering practical tools, practices, guided meditations, sound healing, incredible  musical enrichment, and journaling activities. You will leave with the new realization of the hidden gifts within grief as the legacy of the love you grieve, and the key to embracing life transformed!

  • Have lost a loved one

  • Have lost a home, job or relationship

  • Have been abused or betrayed in life and grieve the love you desire and deserve

There is support for each of you who truly want to heal the pain, sadness and grief over the loss of those roles in your life. Our mission is to provide a safe and confidential space, tools and practices, allowing for emotional healing and the discovery of gifts being offered to experience a more meaningful life.

During your Transformational Healing Retreat, You Will Enjoy:

1.

The amazing company of like-minded souls  whether via a healing online experience or in person face-to-face!

2.

You can be in the comfort of your own home with all the conveniences at hand with on-demand beverages and snacks at-will OR on-site where you will experience a sacred setting that offers you all you need to be immersed in a to space to nurture and heal. 

3.

Amazing music, transformation exercises, connections and experiences to deepen personal and spiritual exploration, with sound healing and guided meditations to support powerful shifts!

4.

Empowering group discussions and sharing to support each other with the wisdom we all have to offer - and to know we are not alone in our experiences.

5.

Personal sharing from our retreat leaders, their journeys through grief - and how they have healed and transformed their own pain!

6.

That ultimately we ALL experience some form of loss, pain and grief in life, and when we have the TOOLS to navigate the way, we CAN experience a meaningful, enjoyable and empowering life BECAUSE we had the COURAGE to walk through to the other side!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

A. TOTH

“Meeting with Meghan provided me with the tools I needed to move forward courageously. I found her patience and words very supportive and encouraging. Gaining perspective under such tumultuous times was important to me. I needed to get a grip on the reality of my feelings to be the leader I desire to be. There can be a lot to sort through, the grieving process brings out "hidden" feelings and Meghan was very effective at leading me through it. Thank you for your support Meghan!” 

C. PURCHAS

“The Author gives you tools to help you through your grief journey. An easy inspirational read for anyone going thru the grief process.”

M. OCCHETTI, M.A.

"Receiving my first Sound Healing & Reiki experience from Teri Awakened a part of my subconsciousness that had been asleep for some time. I didn’t realize the amount of heaviness I had been carrying around, related to the stagnant energy within me. I left the session feeling lighter and more aware of who I really am. The time spent with her was such a blessing for my soul, heart, mind and body! "

S. VATER

“Grief is part of life and the course Unraveling Grief to Thrive provides coaching, tools, and exercises to help reveal where blocks occur that may prevent us from moving through the grief process. Meghan is a wise and compassionate coach. She was always willing to listen and provided helpful insight. She celebrated my success and progress but most importantly through the course she helped me to integrate and work through the grief experience so that rather than just surviving I feel more present and fully alive. This course helped me to begin living my life in a manner that honored my husband’s life. The videos were good; just the right length and the exercises and tools were useful in clarifying my thinking and feelings. Best of all, if I ever feel stuck I always have access to them. They can also be applicable to other life experiences and situations. I highly recommend this course and working with Meghan Smith Brooks.”

P. LEBO

" I was in the hospital recovering from major surgery when I first experienced Teri’s amazing Reiki healings. I was in a lot of pain and felt so miserable I couldn’t even speak. Experiencing Teri’s incredible loving presence and powerful Reiki healings was a turning point in my recovery.”

What is a Virtual Retreat About?

Have you Asked Yourself?

  • Are you impacted by grief from the pain of loss in life? And overwhelmed with sadness as the holidays approach? 

  • Has your grief become an obstacle, holding you back from a potentially joyful holiday season? 

  • What if you had a plan to prepare for the holidays and create a meaningful experience? One that both honors your feelings of sadness and allows for all involved to participate in the reason we celebrate? 

 

By joining Teri Wilder and Meghan Smith Brooks on Saturday, November 20th for our empowering “Managing Grief Over the Holidays” Virtual Retreat, you will be provided:

 

* Uplifting tools and materials to support you in the process of creating a plan of how to prepare for holiday grief triggers, both for yourself and/or others, potentially starting new holiday traditions that lay a foundation for a meaningful and special season.

* A plan that allows for you to share your tears, remember personal stories, and discern ways to honor who or what you grieve - whether alone or gathering with others, in person or virtually.
