The main purpose of this retreat;

Bereavement by suicide presents a dilemma for many; on one hand personal tragedy, whereas stigma increases the potential for isolation. The retreat gives you an opportunity to have some time away from your normal life, meeting others who have been bereaved, in a calm surrounding, with supported creative activities.

Led by Jola Malin, author of ‘Carry a Whisper’, written on her own experiences of complex grief following her sister’s suicide.
