Overview

🌄 Retreat Overview

Grief can feel isolating—but you don’t have to carry it alone.

From the Lows to the Highs is a 4-day immersive retreat designed specifically for bereaved siblings who are ready to reconnect—with themselves, with others who understand, and with the possibility of meaning beyond loss.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Georgia gorge at Historic Banning Mills, this experience blends:

  • Guided grief processing & peer connection
  • Outdoor adventure & embodied healing
  • Reflection, rest, and renewal

This is not about “fixing” grief.
It’s about learning to live alongside it—with strength, support, and purpose.
