2022 Camp Widow® Toronto

Event Banner
THIS EVENT IS 100% FREE!

Camp Widow® is a unique and incredible experience created by Soaring Spirits International that provides both practical tools and relevant resources for widowed persons rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of the death of a spouse or partner. Built for those who are widowed, by those who are widowed, the Camp Widow event provides understanding, community, and hope. This Camp Widow event will be hosted by Soaring Spirits Canada from Friday, November 11 - Sunday, November 13, 2021 in downtown Toronto.


The most important thing that Camp Widow provides to the widowed people who attend is an in-person community of others who are making their way through widowhood one day at a time. Campers come from around the world to meet other widowed men and women face-to-face, and to experience the camaraderie that this event creates.


You might imagine these gatherings are morose, but you will find that the truth is quite the contrary. Among peers, lifted up by understanding, and validated in the uniqueness of every person’s grief recovery…the mood at Camp Widow is hopeful, positive, and uplifting. Camp Widow is a life changing experience for widowed men and women; we’d love to share this hope-filled weekend with you, or someone you love!


Your conference fee for Camp Widow Toronto will include the following:

  • Friday: Access to a full day of workshops, discussions, and intensive seminars
  • One ticket to the Friday evening Welcome Reception
  • Saturday: Keynote address
  • Saturday: Access to a full day of workshops, discussions, and intensive seminars

Complimentary

Have you ever heard Michele Neff Hernandez and countless others say there is no right way to grieve and yet you still felt like you were coming up short somehow? Or have you felt like you’re grieving as fast as you can, but it’s still not fast enough? Learn about self-compassion and how it can help you be more gentle towards yourself, in the face of a challenging journey of loss, pain and grief. Self-compassion and it’s profound healing power can help transform (without eliminating) your grief.

Grief in the Background: A Widowed Life Four Years and Beyond
Complimentary 
Saturday Nov 12, 2022 @  10:15:AM  —  11:30:AM EST

You have lived through those first critical years after the death of your partner and you made it through. But your grief is still there. It may not be as active as it once was, but it still lurks in the background of your everyday life. Learn new ways to cope with the current format of loss, gain an understanding of it, and reflect on the past, present and future. It’s been four years. It’s been six years. Or it’s been MORE than ten years.The struggle has changed because life has continued.
