Receive grief care by a Christian counselor and certified Compassionate Bereavement Care specialist in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains. Our grief retreats, designed to support those in mourning, are available throughout the year.

We will laugh together and cry together in a safe space to do the hard work of grief. This 3-night grief retreat provides an intimate setting where you will be cared for by a certified Compassionate Bereavement Provider and pastoral counselor. There will be sessions in which you will learn about the five stages of grief and how to cope in each stage using triune self-care, the science behind grief (prepare to be fascinated!), and you will go home with sustainable coping skills to help you continue your grief journey. Each night a creative element will help you honor and remember your loved one. There are no group therapy sessions in which you will feel pressure to share. Instead space is provided to fellowship at your own pace. You will have free time to process, enjoy nature, rest, and fellowship with others. Expect to be well fed physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Take time this holiday season for our 2-night grief retreat in the North Georgia Mountains. You will be guided through activities to help you step away from the busyness of the holidays and settle into rest and reflection. Engage with nature, with ourselves and listen to what God whispers.

We are thrilled that one of our past participants from the Grief Care Retreat took the time to share their experience, which was featured in the Atlanta Journal Constitution!
From the warm welcome on Friday to the final blessing on Sunday morning, every detail was thoughtfully designed to create a safe and nurturing space for reflection, rest and restoration. The balance of teaching, quiet moments and gentle activities made it easy to be fully present without feeling overwhelmed. If you are walking through grief in any form this grief retreat is a gentle, grace-filled place to land. I leave feeling more grounded, more hopeful, and deeply grateful.
This grief retreat offers a safe space where you can truly be yourself in a non-judgment zone. As we navigate this grief journey together, it’s important to remember that it’s okay to cry as much as you need. Danielle's compassionate approach ensures that everyone feels supported in their grief. I now understand that addressing grief is a vital part of the healing process, especially for those facing challenges during times of loss.
I learned that it is okay for me to feel the way I do and the breathing exercises were helpful. I feel more free than I have in the past, and ready to move forward. Reading my bible this weekend has renewed my relationship with God, and I look forward to continuing this when I get home. Not sure what I expected but this weekend was better than I imagined!
When we open ourselves up and prioritize God's will, the possibilities for newfound friendships, freedom, and healing are endless and amazing. In times of grief people need one another to heal and grow. We are more alike than different. God is a very present help in our times of trouble, struggle, loneliness. I miss my loved one beyond measure. This grief retreat has been a life changing experience and opportunity.
I had a great experience at the Grief Care Retreat. This retreat provided much-needed rest and the opportunity to reflect on areas I need to strengthen, particularly in my Christian faith. I truly appreciate the genuineness that Danielle displays during these grief retreats and her passion for helping people. Her approach makes me feel like I am in safe hands, allowing me to navigate my grief.
Danielle gave me some tools I can utilize into my life moving forward. Grief was taking control of me emotionally and physically. I am honored to have spent time with some wonderful God fearing people and to gain support in my grieving process one day at a time.
On this Christian grief retreat, I’ve learned that it’s okay to cry and to feel the way I feel. I’ve discovered how to focus on the spiritual aspects of my journey rather than just the physical. I’m walking away with so much more than I expected from both the grief care and the overall experience of the grief retreat. I'm forever grateful.
This Christian Grief Care Retreat was a wonderful opportunity to spend time alone with God while participating in structured lessons that encouraged deep reflection on grief. Danielle and Andy are exceptional hosts, and the food was delicious. Having never attended a grief retreat before, I was uncertain of what to expect, but Danielle and Andy's warmth made me feel at ease. The sessions on grief care and the insights shared were incredibly timely and impactful. I would highly recommend this grief retreat to anyone looking to make progress in their grief journey, deepen their faith, and grow closer to God.
This Christian Grief Retreat was precisely what I needed. I learned that it’s okay to be messy with God and to fully experience my emotions during the grief process. I can have intense emotions and still be okay-they will come and go. I learned that many things of the things I am feeling are common in grief and it's okay. I also discovered how beneficial it is to heal with others and how comforting that journey can be.
I loved that Danielle mentioned God in every session during the Grief Care Retreat. We are so fortunate to be nurtured by science, her expertise, each other's experiences, and God's word. I really learned a lot and expanded my toolbox of coping skills.
This Grief Care Retreat was much-needed. The atmosphere was extremely welcoming and peaceful, allowing me to reflect on my journey and my feelings about myself. I learned ways to love and care for the emotions I have with grief. I was reminded God has never left me and He never will. This grief retreat helped me to connect intimately with Him. I was able to be open and honest with myself and others.
