September 10-12th 2021
Full weekend retreat hosted by White Owl Farm a rustic gem tucked away in the rural area of Tyngsborough, MA. The natural unmanicured beauty of the space adds support to the journey of healing.
During the retreat you will be reconnecting to some of the most natural ways we have to process grief; journaling, herbal medicine, meditation, exploring self through community drama and play. Each of these healing techniques will help you commune with your faithful servant, grief.
Retreats held here are more intimate as the setting can only accommodate 6 people. We do this with intention so each participant has their own dedicated space for sleeping and alone time when needed.
Come dance under the stars. Look deeply into the eyes of your fellow travelers. Spend time around the fire listening. Let the songs you hold within be heard. Sing the songs of grief that only you can sing. Be held and witnessed not as broken, but as a living breathing complex human being.
Upon registration you will be emailed detailed instructions on how to prepare for the gathering. Please know that your sovereignty and ownership of your responsibility to your healing and wholeness is deeply honored.

December 18th 2021 Day Event 11am-5pm
Ancestral grief lives within each of us and manifests in a variety of ways; through intergenerational patterns of behavior, a deep sense of loneliness or lack of belonging, physical symptoms, and broader cultural implications to name just a few. Jen Hedziec is a dedicated and powerful heart centered healer. During this December Grief Ritual we will explore ancestral grief in a way that allows space for processing, expression, reflection, and a gentle metabolizing of what has landed with us as both burdens and blessings from our lineages. Knowledge about your ancestry is not needed for this ritual, just a willingness to explore what has been passed down and to allow the movement of ancestral grief to occur.
Jen Hudziec is a ritualist, ancestral lineage repair practitioner, animist, fire walk instructor, and body worker. She brings 25 years of exploring and practicing a diverse mosaic of ritual arts to Creative Grief Work. During the challenges of Covid, she has lead prayer circles for those who have died as a result of Covid, and has supported those of left holding the complicated grief and trauma from the global pandemic. Jen will offer us a sweet space filled with magic.
Cost: Sliding scale fee of $30-$60
TO REGISTER:
Due to Covid-19 and size of indoor space we are limiting the number of participants to 8.

January 22, 2022 Pembroke Ma Day Event
With the success of a very beautiful on-line grief ritual last month I am very excited to offer this as an On-line ceremony too. Having this as an in-person workshop is still in debate.
I am super excited to join forces with Jean Beneduci and share all the amazing rituals and ceremonies we can use to help us feel connected and empowered. That can encourage us to give ourselves the time and space to listen deeply to ourselves... Join us in ceremonies with purpose and direction that invite us to breathe truth in together with deep trust in the process. We will lean into our hearts, feel the power of the winds, call on the divine waters, dance with uncertainty, and listen to the stone people.
Jean will share with us some of the teachings she has learned through the tutelage she received from Alberto Villoldo, Phd., from the Four Winds Healing the Light Body School as well as other teachers and friends as Jean stays deeply connected to local New England groups of medicine women.
After you have registered for the workshop you will be emailed a welcome letter which will detail how to prepare for this class. You will be given a list of items to purchase, many of which you may already have in your home. For instance a pie pan (or some other fire proof plate), bowls, smooth stones, and a feather.
I look forward to our time together in sacred and safe space! If you have any questions please feel free to email me and I will get back to you in a timely manner.
