Attended grif is an island March 2026.
At GIAl retreat, I felt like I arrived home. Perfect strangers retreating together but there was a familiarity. We all came carrying our own heavy grief backpacks, invisible to the outside world but visible to those that know grief. Leah and Danielle held space that felt safe enough for us to gently take them off and unpack them together, exploring the contents and validate what we have all been carrying. With the unloading came the profound awareness of how grief shows up physically in our bodies..
Amir's wonderful soul food that provided comfort, nourished and replenished our energy. The daily yoga, breath work, hypnotherapy, guided workshops and time to explore outdoors were all beautifully thought through to help ease us all into unbracing and breathing.
To Leah, Danielle, Amir and my fellow grief islanders - thank you. This experience has truly opened my eyes and heart in ways I will never forget

Attended grif is an island March 2026.
Wow. From the very first emails and calls, Leah and Danielle made me feel supported and safe-even before l'd booked. I was nervous about traveling alone, but Grief is an Island immediately felt like something special.
Every detail was thoughtfully considered: the beautiful villa, Amir's nourishing meals, the group workbooks, yoga, breathwork, sound baths,
hypnotherapy, Amand Leah's magical hands during myofascial release. It was deeply restorative.
I connected with wonderful people, laughed, cried, and opened my heart, gently guided every step of the way. We explored stunning parts of Ibiza and also had space to reflect, rest, and simply be.
Leah and Danielle have created something truly special. I left with meaningful tools-especially breathwork-that continue to support me long after returning home. I can't recommend this retreat enough to anyone on their grief journey.
