March 5 Giveback Event

March 13–15, 2026
Van, Texas | Within 45 minutes of Tyler

You carry your grief every single day. It lives in your thoughts, your routines, your responsibilities. This weekend is an invitation to come lay it down for a moment.

Hosted at a peaceful lakeside retreat center, participants stay in shared cabins near the water with a private meeting space attached. Evenings are spent around a private campfire overlooking the lake.

Throughout the weekend, you will experience guided workshops, trauma release yoga, sound therapy, creative expression, shared meals, and intentional time for connection and rest. Every activity is built to foster restoration while allowing you to participate at your own comfort level.

Spots are intentionally limited to create a safe and intimate experience.

There is a small, non-refundable registration fee to reserve your spot. Thanks to a generous grant from the Junior League of Tyler, the remainder of the retreat costs are covered.

Grief does not just impact individuals. It impacts relationships.

The Restoring Hope Couples Retreat is a one-day experience designed for couples who have experienced suicide loss and want intentional space to reconnect, reflect, and strengthen their relationship.

You carry your grief every day. This retreat offers space to lay it down together.

Through guided conversations, therapeutic group activities, creative experiences, and shared time in a peaceful lakeside setting, couples will have the opportunity to slow down and focus on one another. The day will close with a campfire gathering overlooking the water.

This is not about retelling the story of your loss. It is about being present in your relationship now. It is about learning how to support one another in grief while continuing to grow together.

Spots are intentionally limited to allow for meaningful connection and interaction.

There is a small, non-refundable registration fee per couple to reserve your spot. Thanks to a generous grant from the Junior League of Tyler, the remainder of the retreat costs are covered.
