SEDONA WOMEN’S WIDOW RETREAT | SEPTEMBER 5th - 9th 2024

I don’t think I will ever stop sharing about how connection is the one thing that continues to save me time and time again in my grieving/widowhood journey…

Being in the right room is invaluable when it comes to widowhood..

The comfort that is found when you are surrounded by the energy of your widow sisters, while having the opportunity to be in a space where you don’t have to explain yourself is indescribable… and this intimate retreat will provide us all with that indescribable comfort and ease we deserve.

This is an opportunity to embrace your grief, but to also find relaxation, community, and joy alongside women who can meet you where you are with a deep understanding and compassion.

It has been curated and thought out from a place of knowing that most of us don’t have the opportunity to be “taken care of” while navigating partner loss, and how important it is to allow ourselves the gift of support and a break from our day to day lives as well.

These 5 days will provide you with the gentle invitation to come laugh, breathe and be fully present. To explore connecting back to your body, to get into the kitchen with other women to bond over food and drinks, to find community in friends both new and old, all while breathing in the mountain air, surrounded by the Red Rocks of Sedona, AZ.

It’s a place where you can show up, no matter where you may be at in your journey, and be seen, held and understood in a time when you might feel isolated and alone.

  • Julia Warren

    RETREAT HOST

    Julia became a widow on September 1, 2021 when her husband, Doug, succumbed to his lifelong battle with addiction and died of an accidental overdose. This left her a solo mom of two young boys, with a deeply unregulated nervous system, a burning desire to live life fully in his absence, and a passion to help many women just like her along the way by sharing her truth and their story.

    She is deeply passionate about speaking out about the intricate layers that come along with losing someone to addiction to help educate others and to soften the stigma, while providing a safe landing for those looking for support as they navigate stigmatized loss and widowhood.

    As a 500-hour trauma informed yoga teacher with extensive training in guided meditation, energy work, yogic philosophy, as well as nervous system support + somatics, she helps her clients find healing by teaching them how to get in touch with their bodies, their emotions and the felt sense that lives inside all of us through gentle somatic work and support.
