{and Retreats}
Are you a part of a mom’s bereavement and healing group, or would you like to get one started?
It can be difficult, even painful, to even try to consider engaging in activities we once found pleasurable, after one or more of our children has died. A workshop might sound like a nice idea, but the effort to actually commit can seem intimidating and even frightening.
~ This is why you should attend. ~
You will be surrounded by other mothers, just like you, who are simply trying to make sense of life after loss. Our workshops are really rejuvinating retreats and are a wonderful time to relax and unwind, a time and a place devoted to exploring the many feelings that may seem to overtake you at times.
It is an opportunity to claim the space, it is a most sacred environment for reflection, contemplation, meditation, and a knowing communion with others who share the wisdom, the depth, the aching and the constant searching of their unique, beautiful path, just like you. Wherever you are on your path, your soul hungers to be nourished as you keep stepping forward. Discover the provision that will truly enrich you, by attending an SBD workshop for mothers.
Activities we will explore:
- Healing in Color
- Whisper Nest
- Clootie Tree
- Raw chocolate made especially for our workshops with wonderful ingredients including Pink Himalayan Sea Salt and Raw Blue Organic Agave
- Sennelier chalk
- poignant and beautiful music
- practical application and real encouragement in healing
- Fellowship and just being together!
- The freedom to share your experiences and feelings, to grow closer as a participating community of bereaved mothers, and to learn strategies for carrying forth the legacy of love your child(ren) have imparted upon your heart.
- The opportunity to try on an Empathy Belly during our circle of sharing
- Enjoy a sacred and healing Mother Roasting if you choose
- The freedom to just be present (you are not required to participate in anything)
- special gifts each person can take home
- Making a batch of lavendar milk bath or other craft for each mother to take home
- extremely affordable, retreat style, life changing event!
- and much more!

The Importance of Fellowship:
-
Rejuvination, renewal, acceptance, permission, freedom, creativity, expression, validation, healing, community, and love all can be witnessed, explored and harvested in fellowship.
-
You cannot encounter the richest depths of any of these things alone.
- If you are a bereaved mother who is also nursing a rainbow baby, please indicate so during your registration of the event. Once a registration with a nursing rainbow is made, a general announcement will be made on the specific event’s page. If an announcement of such isn’t made at the event page, it means that no babies will be present.
If you would like to create the special experience of a Mothers Workshop for one stillbirthday mother in particular, consider a blessingway Sacred Circle for her.
Sacred Whisper Nest
Clootie trees are wishing trees, near what is considered a holy well.
Celtic pilgrimages are made to reach them.
Strips of cloth are dampened by the well water and hung upon the wishing tree.
Let’s get started!
Just visit the workshops main page, or use the speaking engagements form to share your ideas and get our workshop planning!
Feedback from Workshop Attendees
Heidi shares her experience and heart and most of all, spirit. We ALL loved her spirit. We all wanted to “put a Heidi in our pocket” when we left. She was amazing.
Cleansing, washing, soaking up and sharing, all symbolic to many things – too many to name at once!
Who are we? What do we bring to births, to women’s experience in still birth or loss? Have mercy on yourself. Get in HER space. Leave your stuff at the door.
We paired up, shared with a friend, our deepest hurts, loss and trials – by stating it on our little window. We started healing from this one little exercise. Wonderful.
So many women who are strong and courageous and bring so much love and tender care to hurting mamas. What an honor to spend time with them.
Heidi is a beautiful light in the darkness.
It was such an honor to hold little Miriam for so long. I felt like I was holding her for all of the mamas out there who cannot hold their babies.
We all are called to different work with mother’s – what is YOUR calling, how are you called?
You are such a beautiful lady, Heidi, in heart, body and spirit!
This was a wonderful workshop – THANK YOU to all women who came and shared and went “deep” Blessings to all of you!
I hope in the future you can attend one of Heidi Faith’s workshops. She is a treasure.
