The BREATHE Retreat is a space where grief, love and healing can coexist.
For this spring weekend, join us for a retreat that honors loss, nurtures your spirit and invites you to restore and renew.
Grief touches every part of life, and on tender days like Mother’s Day, the ache can feel especially heavy. Whether you are grieving a mother, a child, a partner or carrying another loss close to your heart, you are not alone and this retreat was created for you.
The BREATHE Spring Grief Retreat: A restorative, heart-centered retreat rooted in the B.R.E.A.T.H.E.™ Coaching Model for Grief, a compassionate framework created by the Confident Grief Coach School to help people not just survive their grief, but truly find healing and reclaim their lives. Through reflection, guided practices, and the support of community, you’ll be gently held as you honor your grief and explore pathways toward healing and growth.
Here, you’ll not only find rest and connection—you’ll also leave with practical tools to carry into daily life, helping you navigate the days ahead with greater ease and resilience.
Because even after the harshest winters, life has a way of pushing through the soil again.
The air feels cleaner and more nourishing.
Because healing does not erase grief — it makes space for new growth beside it.
Because you, too, are worthy of renewal.
Join us this spring weekend in May for a retreat that honors your grief and nurtures your spirit. Whether your loss is fresh or years have passed, this is a safe and sacred space to breathe, to be seen, and to begin blooming again.
Spaces are limited. Step into this circle of compassion and restoration.
Find your breath again…
This retreat is a sacred pause, a chance to step away from the heaviness of daily life and step into a time of restoration. Together, we will weave grief and love into healing practices that honor both the pain and the possibility of growth.
You’ll be held in a gentle rhythm of:
Candlelight yoga to soften body and spirit
Farm-to-table meals to nourish deeply
Tools and resources rooted in the B.R.E.A.T.H.E. Coaching Model for Grief ™
Immersive nature experiences that invite restoration
Community connection with others who understand
This all-inclusive retreat takes place on a beautiful, serene 15-acre farm in southeast Minnesota, designed for deep rest and restoration.

From the moment you walk in the door, you will be swept away by the classic charm of our Italian marble floors, open staircase and remarkable hand-built craftsmanship throughout!
We have free-range chickens, a family dog (Auggie), and breathtaking views. You will most likely see deer, turkeys, pheasants, bald eagles, and lots of squirrels, rabbits, woodchucks, and the occasional fox.
We have an on-site yoga studio, office, gift shop and an incredible dining hall with 13-foot ceilings and an abundance of natural light that serves as our studio during craft retreats.
We’ve got great wifi, with a high-speed fiber optic connection linking all the buildings to the outside world. Bedrooms do not have TVs but if you bring a portable device our high-speed network will allow you to stream without interruption.
We have a 2+ mile hiking trail that surrounds our property and we have great patios and porches, and best of all we have no mosquitoes — you can hang out on the porch all night and never see or hear or feel a single mosquito. (We live in the Driftless area, which is defined by steep valleys, rivers, and running water. There’s almost no standing water in which mosquitoes can breed.)
Guests are invited to explore all parts of our property, aside from our private bedroom and the workshop below the yoga studio where we print custom yoga mats through our Big Raven Yoga site. In particular, guests are welcome to use the great room (living room), music room, kitchen, kitchen annex, dining hall, game room, and all outdoor seating areas.
Spring Grove is home to the highly acclaimed and well-regarded RockFilter Distillery, Spring Grove Soda Pop, Fat Pat’s BBQ & Brewery, Heart Rock Coffee Roasters, the Norwegian Ridge Birding Trail, and the Giants of the Earth Heritage Center. Main Street also features the fantastic Bluff Country Artists Gallery!
Nearby airports include Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP), La Crosse Regional (LSE) and Rochester Regional (RST), but we are an easy drive from nearly anywhere in the Midwest!
