This retreat felt more like a reunion. After 6 months of staying in touch through group texts and sharing burdens and wins no one wanted an escape plan. In fact, the group asked to extend the retreat an extra day.

Many guests were honest about having planned an early escape if needed (we totally get it!). We were happy that everyone not only stayed the whole time, but they also requested more retreats...longer and more often! Here's what guests had to say about their personal experience at our first Vilomah grief retreat.
