LIVIN Dad's Retreat: Finding Strength in Shared Loss

Where: FaceIt Northwoods Lodge, Sturgeon Lake MN

When: May 30th-June 1st 2025

Overview: Losing a child to suicide is a pain that never really fades and no father should have to carry alone. This retreat is a space for dads - whether you're one year or twenty years into this journey- who understand the depth of this loss and are looking for connection, support, and a way forward. We will gather in a peaceful setting, at FaceIt Lodge in Sturgeon Lake, Minnesota, stepping away from the demands of daily life to share our experiences, ask tough questions, share challenges, or simply listen.

The purpose is to make connections with others who truly understand. Through thoughtful discussions, light but meaningful activities, and hikes through nature, we'll take time to reflect, open-up, and build connections. This retreat isn't about finding all the answers, it's about finding each other. If you're ready to step into a space where your grief is understood and your voice is heard, please join us. 

All attendees are welcome to arrive the afternoon of May 30th for dinner and conversation. Arrival before 9am on May 31st is fine too, this is when the core of the retreat will begin.
