HOPE RETREAT

We believe in the power of safe, holistic spaces for healing, building community, and restoring hope

Let Grace In’s Hope Retreat is an intimate, multi-day gathering designed to support ‘ohana grieving the death of their child(ren). Rooted in research, culture, and lived experience, bereaved parents and siblings find compassion and connection with other ‘ohana traveling a similar journey.  The retreat offers a safe, nurturing space for families to share their stories, honor their grief, and find healing in community.

Held in a serene setting, the Hope Retreat integrates a holistic approach to healing—supporting the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of each family member. Guided by our dedicated team, participants are encouraged to allow grief to show up naturally and express it authentically—through tears, laughter, words, movement, art, and stillness.

Throughout the retreat, families experience a range of healing modalities including physical movement (workout, yoga, play, meditative walks),  Healing Touch, massage, art, aromatherapy, mind-body integrative therapies, and immersive experiences in nature. These practices help release grief held in the body and restore a sense of balance.

For emotional processing, families are invited into daily group shares and expressive activities tailored for parents, caregivers, and keiki. Grief is a generational burden, and Hope Retreat honors this truth by offering dedicated programming for siblings—creating space for them to connect, play, and express their grief with and without their parents.

The next Hope Retreat will take place on Hawai’I Island July 18-19 and  Oʻahu in October 3-5, 2025.  More details will be shared soon.

“My five year old daughter and I got to go to one of the retreats Let Grace In was having recently and itʻs just made such a huge difference in such a small amount of time, even just having access to the community.”

- Elisabeth

The more that we talk about it in a natural way, it just keeps those memories and that life

and that love alive within us.”

- Michael

In June 2023, Let Grace In partnered with the Moloka'i Community Health Center, a federal qualified health center who welcomed our team into their community.

This partnership expanded access to grief reources beyond O'ahu and was our first Neighbor Island Hope Retreat.
