Journeys that honour what you've lost

Grief
Trips

Curated destination retreats designed for those carrying grief. Where landscapes hold space, strangers become companions, and healing finds you on the road. Because grief doesn't need fixing - it needs to be felt, with community.

Personal grief support included on every trip

The trip made me feel less alone, seen, and alive. If you feel lost, going on a grief trip will bring you community, hope, and many beautiful moments of peace. Cassandra, Maldives 2026

What makes Grief Trips different

Intentional travel, designed for grief

Not a wellness retreat that happens to address grief. Every activity is specifically designed as a vehicle for grief processing.

Impactful Grief Workshops

Guided sessions with experienced facilitators who have walked the path of loss themselves. Go as gently or deeply as feels right.

A Gentle Space for Grief

8-12 participants per retreat. Thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are - whether you're seeking quiet reflection or meaningful conversation.

Beautiful Destinations

Chosen for their natural wonders and authentic culture. Where grief and joy can coexist - activities that become part of the healing, not just the backdrop.

Lasting Community

The group stays connected after the trip ends. An ongoing group chat keeps you close with your trip crew and the wider Grief Trips alumni.

What people say

Going on a Grief Trip is one of the best things that I did for myself.

Maria

Portugal Grief Trip, 2024

Best experience I've had since losing my dad. It was truly so magical and such a blessing to share this space with ladies who can hold space for each other.

Lindsey

Bali Grief Trip, 2025

After my mom's unexpected death, my whole world split apart. Going on the grief trip gave me a space where I could feel alive. The trip made me feel less alone, seen, and alive.

Cassandra

Maldives Grief Trip, 2026

One of the most memorable trips I've ever been on. The grief workshops felt supportive without overwhelm. Blair brought joy, laughter and authenticity.

Maitreyi

Maldives Grief Trip, 2026

I've been on two grief trips to Portugal and Bali. Rachel has turned her own deep loss into magical experiences - these trips are a unique space where joy and grief can coexist.

Frequently asked questions

There is no right time other than when you feel called to join a Grief Trip. There is so much you can gain through giving your grief space and community - whether you're in the early months after a loss or many years later.

Anxiety is a completely natural response. At Grief Trips, you are welcome exactly as you are. If you'd like, we can schedule a virtual coffee chat with your facilitator to talk through any concerns in a supportive, pressure-free space.

Everything on the itinerary is optional. Pick and choose how you participate to nurture your energy throughout the trip. The grief workshops allow you to dive deep or explore gently. There's no right or wrong way to experience this trip.

Plenty built into the itinerary. You might want to explore your grief deeply, or gently. Everything is optional - notice what you want and need in each moment, rather than feeling pressure to participate in a certain way.

To reserve your spot, a non-refundable 30% deposit is required. The remaining amount is due one month before the trip.

Many people take this as their first solo trip and there isn't a better introduction. All logistics are taken care of. All you need is your flights, visa, and travel insurance - and Rachel can help with planning logistics ahead of the trip.

Go with whichever is calling you most and that you're available for on those dates. Everyone ends up on the trip they were meant to be on. If you need help choosing, feel free to schedule a discovery call.

Female only at the moment - but we're building a waiting list for future trips open to everyone. Get in touch if you'd like to be added.
