Day Retreat Guides

Below are two full day retreat guides for navigating infertility or loss. These can be done individually, as a couple, adapted to go through with a group, or with a friend. The guides are divided into two movements (sections), which provides a natural break for lunch. Some activities require additional materials, which are included as a list in the back of the handout.

I hope the guides are helpful to you and bring rest and renewal as you journey along the way.

Sacred Stories

Sacred Stories is a faith-filled, soul-nourishing retreat designed for those who are navigating the road of infertility and loss. This retreat guide offers a full day of content to guide you through various movements. You will interact with God as the Author of your story, engage with creative reflections on your unique journey, and be led through the day with compassionate care.

Fruitful

Fruitful is a faith-filled, soul-nourishing retreat designed for those who are navigating the road of infertility and loss. Explore themes of fruitfulness in the waiting with creativity and reflection, with parallel lessons in nature and life. 
Grounded in Scripture and guided spiritual reflection, readers will be invited to accompany their sorrow with joy, and process the complex emotions of grief through the mediums of creative practice.
