Creative Healing Retreat
Oct

Creative Healing Retreat

A doorway to love. A doorway to hope. A doorway to renewal.

Whether your loss is recent or has quietly lived within you for years, grief invites us to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with ourselves. Through creativity, movement, reflection, and compassionate community, we discover that while grief changes us, it can also awaken new meaning, resilience, and love.

Join us for a nurturing day of trauma-informed healing in a safe, welcoming, and compassionate community. Together we will honor our stories, tend to our hearts, and gently explore pathways toward hope, healing, and renewal. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, your health, a dream, or a season of life, you are welcome here.

Creative Healing Retreat
Aug
8

Creative Healing Retreat

This Creative Healing Retreat will be led by fiber artist Jessica Kaufman, M.A. Crafts Education. Jess is the owner of WAXON Studio in West Asheville. Participants will learn the art of needle felting with wool roving and use the creative process as an opportunity to process grief and/or caregiver stress.

Please bring anything you need to make yourself comfortable during a longer, seated craft activity. If you require extra lighting or magnification to see details clearly, please bring those things (i.e., reading glasses). This craft requires some hand/eye coordination and repetitive (non-forceful) movements. We will be taking breaks to stretch and gently move occasionally!
