Apply for the Group Grief Hermitage

Friday December 11 through Sunday December 12, 2026

A three-day residential retreat centered around developing a deeper relationship with grief and learning to walk with it more lightly.

Borrowing from the themes we learn in the Grief Ritual and those wise teachers like Sobonfu Somé, Malidoma Somé, Martin Prechtel, Francis Weller, and Daniel Foor, we will share a mix of structured time and free space to walk the land on the 40 acres of land, sit in contemplation, and gather for shared meals provided.

Cost is $250 with a sliding scale available.

Space is very limited. Complete the application to show interest. Applications will be responded to on a first-come-first served basis. A deposit secures your spot.

  • This is a residential retreat with arrivals between 9am and 11am on Friday, December 11 and departure between 3pm and 5pm on Sunday. Applicants who can attend the full weekend will be prioritized.

  • All lodging space will be respectfully shared with others. Separate spaces for men and women can be accommodated if needed.

  • You can expect a reply with further instructions for making a deposit from Martha within 48 hours of your application.
