TwoCan Retreats

It’s been two months since I returned from Costa Rica, and I think about my experiences at the grief retreat every day. I am so grateful for the experiences i shared with my new community, because they are now a very big part of my support system. I reach out to these new friends for advise, to say hello, and to exchange how life is going. At the retreat I practiced techniques like breath work, being present, journaling, , sharing, singing and mindfulness. I was given resources that I refer to and study as I do the continuing work of dealing with my grief. The food was amazing, the accommodations were excellent, and the jungle was amazing. I am so glad I took the leap and attended this retreat. I know my grief journey will be long and difficult, but I feel empowered and comforted because I gained knowledge and techniques I am using to move forward.

This retreat, Moving Through Grief, with Mike and Stacey and their awesome team, was absolutely life-changing. I am not sure what I expected, but what I received was more than I could have ever dreamed. The setting, Imiloa Institute, was heavenly and perfect for all the amazing work we did. The retreat itself changed me forever, and allowed me the opportunity to meet the most incredible, loving new friends who could understand my grief and share theirs with me, so we could hold each other up in it. Thank you so much Stacey, Mike, Jenn, Amber, Sandy, Glenn, and Evan for taking such great care of us, you all are amazing!

My husband and I recently attended the Two Can Retreats Moving Through Grief Retreat. It was a life-changing experience. We both came away with a deeper understanding of grief, not as a stage of life, but as a fluid state of being. The retreat provided us with valuable tools and rituals to help us channel our grief into impactful actions, both individually and as a couple.

The retreat was held in a beautiful and serene setting, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of nature. The staff was incredibly warm, welcoming, and supportive, creating an atmosphere of comfort and trust. The retreat schedule was well-balanced, offering a mix of guided activities, personal reflection time, and opportunities for connection with other participants.

During the retreat, we participated in a variety of practices, including yoga, meditation, breathwork, and singing exercises. These practices helped us to connect with our bodies and emotions, allowing us to release pent-up grief and begin to heal. We found the breathwork exercises to be particularly helpful, as they helped us acknowledge pent up areas of trauma and grief in an unprecedented way.

The retreat also provided us with opportunities for personal reflection and journaling. We used this time to explore our individual experiences with grief and identify areas where we could grow. The facilitators provided guidance and support throughout this process, helping us to gain valuable insights into our own emotions and behaviors.

In addition to the benefits we experienced individually, the retreat also had a profound impact on our relationship. The breathing, yoga, and singing exercises helped us to connect with each other on a deeper level, fostering open communication and emotional intimacy. We learned how to support each other through our grief, strengthening our bond and creating a lasting sense of unity.

One of the most valuable aspects of the retreat was the opportunity to connect with others who were/are grieving. Sharing our experiences with others who understood what we were going through was incredibly helpful. We formed deep friendships with other participants, and we know that these support systems will last us a lifetime.

We are so grateful for the experience we had at the Two Can Retreats Moving Through Grief Retreat. It has helped us to move forward in our lives, individually and as a couple, and to journey toward peace with our grief. We would highly recommend this retreat to anyone who is seeking support and guidance as they navigate the challenges of grief.

If you are considering attending a grief retreat, I highly recommend the Two Can Retreats Moving Through Grief Retreat. It is a life-changing experience that can help you to heal from your grief and move forward with your life.

This is a hard review to write because i want to be able to succinctly express how magical it was for me. I heard someone express “life changing” and I would agree. Stacy & Mike and the team of Jen, Amber, Glen, Sandy, Evan and Aliza were amazing. To facilitate this group of complete strangers through powerful ceremonies and processing of grief is no small feat. I felt protected, safe and that I had the space and time to go through what I needed in this short time we had together. The retreat center was perfect for this, from arrival to departure and all the tears in between. If you are considering investing in a grief retreat, this is the one. The property was amazing, the Imolia staff were so kind and helpful, the retreat team was inspired, open and poured their own grief into the experience which just added to the bond of one grieving soul helping another. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

I couldn't be more grateful that I attended this retreat. Stacey and Mike have thought out every detail meticulously. I didn't know what to expect but I was truly blown away by their incredible team, the Imiloa retreat as a venue and their staff. Everyone was so friendly. (I travelled alone however some people attended with a family member or friend.)

I saw a review before I came that said 'we laughed a lot even at a grief retreat' and that is certainly true. The people that you meet become friends forever, connected through shared stories and your journey through grief. There is music, singing (that is also joyful and very powerful) run by Glenn who is just amazing and has such a moving voice.

The breath work session was one of the most transformative and powerful things I have done and is run by Jenn and Amber who radiate positivity and are like real life angels.

I am just so grateful to have found this retreat and being able to hold my grief in such a safe environment. As I said before Stacey and Mike (the kindest people) have created a schedule that really allows you to dive deep and to hold space for your grief. It allowed me to take time for myself and other realisations actually came up at the same time which really have transformed my life back at home already.

Thank you TwoCan retreats. I highly highly recommend this retreat and the practitioners that are part of it.
