The 2nd Annual Emotional Freedom After Loss Retreat
January 2026
Toddhall Retreat & Conference Center
Columbia, IL
If your heart feels heavy with loss whether recent or long-ago, named or unspoken, this is your sacred invitation to pause, breathe, and begin again.
Join us for a soul-nourishing, retreat crafted for women navigating life after loss of any kind. In the quiet sanctuary of Toddhall’s wooded acres, you’ll step away from the noise of "being fine" and into a space where your pain is honored, your healing is nurtured, and your spirit is gently restored.
This is not just a retreat.
It’s a homecoming to yourself, to community, and to the hope still waiting beneath the sorrow.
Retreat Setting & Amenities
Nestled among 45 wooded acres, Toddhall offers the perfect environment for quiet renewal.
Forest trails, peaceful nooks, and cozy gathering spaces await.
Is This Retreat for You?
This experience is for the woman who’s lost something or someone that changed everything.
Whether it was a person, a marriage, a dream, your health, or a part of yourself you’ve struggled to reclaim...
If your heart aches and your soul longs for rest and realness this is your place.
You belong here if:
- You’re carrying deep grief from death, divorce, illness, or life changes
- You crave healing space without needing to explain your pain
- You want community without the structure of therapy
- You’re ready to feel something again besides pressure to "move on"
- You’re longing to come back to yourself with grace and faith
This is where your pain is seen.
Your tears are held.
And your story is sacred.
A Pace That Honors You
Whether you crave stillness, silence, or connection, you’re free to take this journey in the way your soul needs. There is no pressure, only presence.
Tools for the Journey Beyond the Day
You’ll leave not only lighter, but stronger with practical tools, spiritual support, and a continued path toward emotional freedom.
Why This Retreat Matters Now
Grief has no expiration date.
Even when it’s quiet, it still shapes you until you’re given room to let it breathe.
This day is more than rest. It’s a reawakening. A letting go of what no longer serves, and a remembering of what still remains: your strength, your story, and your sacred worth.
This is a pathway from isolation to connection, from confusion to clarity, from heaviness to hope.
Because even in the deepest loss, faith holds a promise:
You are not alone.
You are not beyond healing.
And joy can still grow in the soil of sorrow.
Let this be your brave beginning toward emotional freedom.
Step into the arms of grace. And remember healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means trusting that love, and life, are still here.
Your Day of Healing Includes:
A custom-designed grief journal
Restorative sessions and healing practices
Guided rituals and soul-centered group activities
Thoughtfully Grief Gift Basket
Pre-retreat Zoom gathering to prepare your heart
Post-retreat integration call to gently guide you forward
This is day to soften, to breathe, and to remember the sacredness still within you.
