In this intimate weekend retreat nestled in the natural beauty of *** on Vancouver Island, we gather a small circle of individuals ready to explore grief not as something to endure alone, but as a sacred pathway to healing and connection. Through forest meditation, ocean-side reflection, and somatic practices rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern research, we'll learn to tend our grief with tenderness and discover the unexpected gifts it holds.

"The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them. How much sorrow can I hold? That's how much gratitude I can give."

Natasha Gray

The founder and lead facilitator of Blue Moon Collective, Natasha is a torch-bearer for truth. Her women’s circles are portals to collective healing, undoing long-held stories of separateness. 


With more than 1,000 hours guiding circles, Conscious Relationship Trainings, and therapeutic workshops/retreats, she meets each participant with unflinching compassion and a willingness to pull forth uncomfortable truths that ache to be spoken.


Her compass is set to radical honesty. She’ll bring you friction from a loving place, and point out your bullshit in service of standing for your highest good. Natasha supports humans to uncover the beliefs that block connection, and nurtures a community where they can stand fully seen and fully expressed.


Natasha turns raw vulnerability into shared power, offering a path from inner excavation to relational freedom. She is devoted to lighting torches in others so brave conversations, and the folks who hold them, can illuminate the wider world.
