Love Mama Grief Retreat

A Healing Retreat for Grieving Mamas | May 27-31, 2025

The Love Mama Grief Retreat offers a nurturing and secure setting for Mothers of Angels to connect with a community of bereaved parents who have experienced similar traumatic losses. Hosted at the 75-acre nonprofit 1440 Multiversity campus on May 27-31, 2025, this retreat could be the right fit for you if you've had a child transition at any age, or experienced a pregnancy loss at any stage, and you're seeking a space where you can be embraced, supported, and looked after, if only for a short while. This is an opportunity to let go of daily pressures and the expectations of others, allowing yourself the space to breathe and heal.

This five-day, four-night experience is intended to provide the safety and healing you need to fully inhabit your grief — to pause, reflect and perhaps begin to discover new meaning that may be found by going and growing through this pain.

Your Journey Starts Here

The loss of a child is deeper and wider than any other loss. There is amazing healing and power found spending time with others who empathize with and share a similar level of loss. Our hope is that attendees discover deep and lasting community and friendships with like-minded souls they can be supported by and support long after the retreat ends.

Sample itinerary is tentative and subject to change. The final schedule will be provided upon check-in.

Meet Your Support Group

Dr. Laura Berman, renowned relationship therapist and television host, transformed her personal tragedy into creating a refuge of support for grieving mothers with the Love Mama Grief Retreat. Her journey of healing began with the unexpected loss of her 16-year-old son Sammy in February 2021, leading her to the transformative sanctuary of 1440 Multiversity.

Inspired by her own path to peace and clarity, Dr. Berman, along with other dedicated teachers and healers donating their time, established the retreat as a haven for mothers. They have created an environment where mothers can find support, embrace healing, and forge deep, loving connections to their lost children in spirit, all while honoring their memory and working through their pain.
