Empowering Bereaved Parents

Providing peace and restoration, a space for parents to rediscover joy in life after the death of a child

‘Ohana Oasis brings small groups of bereaved parents together for in-person ‘Rediscovering Joy’ week-long retreats held regionally nationwide. We focus on the “what now?” stage of grief -after the initial shock has worn off and parents face their new normal.

We offer tools and opportunities for parents to honor their children, while also becoming keenly present in each moment, and finally beginning the journey of figuring out how a happy and fulfilled future looks.

Our life-changing program provides a unique combination of space and permission to enjoy life along with a toolbox parents go back to time and time again. The trajectory of parents’ lives change and they form a forever network of kindred spirits continuing their journey together. 

Designed to provide a safe space for the hard work of healing, parents are invited to apply for one our regional in person retreats after completing our online application. Our leadership development program gives our alumni an opportunity to continue on their ‘Ohana Oasis journey.
