AFTERLIFE EXPLORATION RETREAT
Transforming Grief: Connections & Healing Between Two Worlds
Forever Family Foundation returns to The Guest House in Chester, Connecticut for a Third Time
This is a very special all inclusive weekend of like-minded people and experienced facilitators coming together to share, learn, explore, and discover. This retreat is being held in an intimate center within a bucolic setting, and features a combination of small break-out sessions and general presentations, all designed to open minds to the reality that there is life beyond physical death.
We all know that coping with the loss of a loved one can be the most difficult task one will ever face. We also know that everyone grieves differently, and the process changes as time progresses. This weekend will not only deal with the challenges of loss and grief, but our professional facilitators will focus on way we can all communicate with deceased loved ones and maintain our relationship with them.
Attendees will be experiencing grief recovery techniques, spirit communication by certified mediums, meditations, altered states of consciousness, mind coherence, musical enlightenment, dream visit enhancement techniques, psychic development exercises and much more.
The weekend will feature small workshops led by known experts in their fields for a more "hands-on" experience, all as we relax in an idyllic private setting featuring our own personal chef preparing healthy and scrumptious meals.
During the retreat, each attendee will have the opportunity to experience all meetings, sessions and break-outs for the weekend. This year, we have added a special Saturday Night Outdoor Bonfire with music and spirit communication, as well as our traditional wine and cheese gatherings. In addition, Reiki practitioners have volunteered their time offering private sessions for attendees, as time allows.
Because everyone's grief is different, the weekend has been created with a variety
of stimulating and meaningful concepts from which all attendees will benefit. Even those who have attended any previous Forever Family Foundation Retreats or Workshops will find this weekend filled with new experiences.
