Supported Hearts Retreat

November 14–15, 2026 · Sebastian, Florida

In partnership with the Sugar Bloom Foundation, the Supported Hearts Retreat is a gentle two-⁠day gathering for anyone navigating grief or loss — the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a career change, a health transition, or a life that didn’t unfold as planned. Come as you are. There is no timeline for healing.

Guided by clinical psychologist and bereaved parent Dr. Mo Therese Hannah, the weekend weaves grief education and small-⁠group sharing with meditation, gentle yoga, pilates, journaling, art therapy, a sound bath, and a tea ceremony, closing with letter-⁠writing and a bonfire under the open sky. Nourishing meals and tea breaks are included throughout.

Held within the quiet beauty of ChoZen, Supported Hearts offers a safe, compassionate space to honor what you’ve lost, feel less alone in it, and leave with gentle tools to carry forward. Supported registration is available for those facing financial barriers.
