IFS retreat with Einat Bronstein in Bali, DEPOSIT 995 USD (1,280 SGD)
March 5 to 10, 2028 | Hosted by IFSBali.com
Grief retreat with Einat
Grief is an inseparable part of life, but in most Western cultures it is denied, hidden, unwelcomed, and systematically exiled.
Unprocessed grief transforms into aggression, illness, anxiety, depression, and loneliness; that's why we need to learn to be with it, rather than spending all our energy denying it or running away from it.
Our grief needs containment, expression and release.
We must learn to be with our sadness, as it is an important human skill and essential for a healthy adult life.
In this retreat, we will explore the different types of grief, identify our own grief, build a loving community as a safe haven, and begin our personal and collective healing process.
The retreat will be deeply experiential, interweaving concepts from the IFS model with ancient and contemporary wisdom on how to connect with our sorrows and find our path to healing.
