Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a sanctuary of care and transformation for those who have lost a loved one to suicide. We are dedicated to supporting survivors through their intricate journey of grief, trauma and suffering to offer a better path forward where forgiveness is nurtured, spirits are uplifted, and a renewed sense of empowerment is ignited. Our unique, holistic approach to healing guides each participant through every aspect of humanity - mind, body, and soul - and combines it with the power of nature and the love of the ocean to cultivate a truly transformative experience.
We are dedicated to educating, coaching, and providing care for survivors who have been told that they are forever broken and suffering is not an option. We do not believe this to be true. Instead, we are on a global mission to restore the love and light for anyone who has endured the darkness of suicide.
There is renewed hope for a path forward after deep loss.
-
Find your tribe.
Losing someone you love to suicide can feel lonely and more isolated than other loss. Our guests often do not know where to turn to find solace in a community that understands. As such, our retreats are designed to connect you on a much deeper level than what is traditionally available online. Compassion and human connection is an important component to healing. Our guests leave with friendships that last a lifetime.
-
Find your joy.
We understand that grief and joy can coexist. For a few hours each day, we reconnect with ourselves through ocean and nature. By stepping out of our comfort zone and into the water, our guests are taught how to surf by some of the best surf instructors worldwide. Surfing is a vital part of what do at The Light Within Retreats. Join us in the water where we can help you find your smile once more.
