About the event


Permission to Grieve


An Immersive Day of Breath, Balance and Belonging


🗓 Sunday, July 13 · 10 AM – 5 PM

📍 Sky Pond, Apex, NC


Permission to Grieve is a full-day, in-person workshop for women who need time to slow down, reflect, feel, and release.  You’ll move through immersive experiences that gently guide you back to yourself, in the tranquility of Sky Pond, the perfect getaway that is still close to home.


This isn’t about fixing — it’s about honoring, allowing, and opening space to soften the weight of what’s been quietly held. And what we hold so deeply, so silently…is grief.  Grief lives in both body and mind, while life urges you to keep going. Whether you’re grieving the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, job, health, or sense of safety — your grief is welcome here.  You have permission to grieve.




A Day of True Self-Care

Grief asks for intentional space — a container to be seen, felt, and honored. This workshop offers that space: a balance of community and solitude, rest and reflection. Learning and integration.  You'll have space and time to honor, befriend and even release your grief. You will leave this day with a new awareness, new meaning, a release of what's weighing so heavily and a reconnection to your authentic self. This is a day of true self-care. One intentional day can make a lifetime of difference.


💫 Our Promise: 

  • You’ll nourish your mind, body, and spirit — and begin to see your grief with gentler eyes.

  • You’ll rekindle a quiet connection to the self within — the one longing to be seen and honored.

  • You’ll gather insights, practices, and moments that will stay with you long after the day is done.

  • You’ll be held in a space where expression softens, restoration unfolds and learning gently lands.

  • You’ll take with you a steadier heart and meaningful ways to tend to your grief — and to yourself.

This isn’t just a day off — it’s a day in:

Inward.

Into healing.

Into release.

Through breath, balance and belonging.
