2nd Annual Emotional Freedom After Loss Retreat

2nd Annual Emotional Freedom After Loss Retreat Offers Hope, Healing, and Community for Women Navigating Grief

Columbia, IL — November 14–16, 2025 — Living After Grief is honored to host the 2nd Annual Emotional Freedom After Loss Retreat, a transformative weekend designed to help women navigate the heavy emotions of grief and loss with compassion, connection, and renewed purpose. The retreat will take place at Toddhall Retreat & Conference Center in Columbia, Illinois.

Led by grief specialist and coach Teresa Reiniger, the retreat provides a supportive space for women who have experienced the loss of a loved one, child loss, divorce, miscarriage, career transitions, or other life-changing events. Participants will explore practical tools, healing practices, and meaningful community to help them release what weighs them down and step into new strength.

“Grief can leave women feeling isolated, unseen, and unsure of how to move forward,” said Reiniger, founder of Living After Grief and host of the Female Voices: Life and Loss podcast. “This retreat is a chance to exhale, to be surrounded by others who understand, and to find freedom in knowing you don’t have to carry it all alone.”

What Attendees Can Expect:

Workshops and Guided Sessions — Covering topics such as boundaries, identity shifts, forgiveness, resilience, and hope.

Healing Activities — Including journaling, breathwork, and optional yoga to release emotional weight.

Community Connection — Authentic, soul-filled conversations with women walking similar journeys.

Rest and Renewal — Space to reflect, relax, and rediscover a sense of self beyond loss.

Last year’s retreat fostered deep, lasting friendships among attendees and many of whom have continued to meet and support one another beyond the weekend.

The retreat begins Friday, November 14 at 1:30 PM and concludes Sunday, November 16 at 11:30 AM. Registration includes lodging, meals, workshops, and all materials.
