The Untold Stories: Pregnancy Loss Retreat Day

"Before I could release the weight of my sadness and pain, I first had to honor its existence"

Yung Pueblo

Ruth and I are coming together to bring you this very unique event: Pregnancy Loss Retreat Day.

More often, then not pregnancy losses before 20 weeks are surrounded by the invisible veil of silence.

The healing starts when we speak. When we call a woman- a mother, a miscarriage- a birth. When we acknowledge her postpartum period, when we create a connection with her child/ren. When we speak- we bring all that is unseen into the realm of existence.

This event is a bridge between a woman and her experience. In a circle- through connection and acknowledgment- we mourn and we heal.

WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR:
