ANCHORED IN HOPE WEEKEND RETREAT: Mount Vernon, SD

What to Expect

This weekend retreat is about creating a safe space for grieving mothers to connect and heal on levels only other bereaved mothers can relate to. It will allow you the time and space to share openly about your child, provide you with tools and resources to help you continue on your grief journey, and equip you with an amazing community of women to walk alongside you on this journey.

Being with other bereaved mothers can be incredibly comforting. During the retreat, there will be times when we meet in a large group setting, but we will share the most intimate times in small groups. 

When

September 19-21, 2025

The retreat will start at 9am on Saturday and we will wrap things up by 3 pm on Sunday. You are more than welcome to arrive Friday night for extra bonding time (we highly encourage that actually).

Where

This retreat will take place at the beautiful Hetland Hunting Lodge, rural Mount Vernon, SD.  Everyone will have their own bed, but you will share a bedroom with at least one other person. We will provide the meals for you right on site.
