Grief can feel like too much. Too heavy to carry. Too lonely to name. Too permanent to move through.
This is for the people who are tired of pretending they’re okay. Who wake up to silence and go to bed with longing. Who carry love and pain in the same breath.
"A Journey From Grief Toward Joy" isn’t about forcing joy. It’s about inviting it back into your life—when you’re ready.
In this three-day gathering, we’ll meet you where you are. With truth. With compassion. With people who have walked this road, too.
You’ll experience:
This is not a lecture. It’s a lifeline. You won’t be asked to move on. You’ll be invited to move forward, with community, courage, and a flicker of hope.
You may cry. You may laugh. You may finally breathe again.
We won’t promise joy. But we’ll promise you won’t walk this alone.
Seats are limited. This is a small, intimate gathering.
Reserve your place today. Questions? email: Y2VudGF1cmNvdXJzZXMgfCBnbWFpbCAhIGNvbQ== or www.kristinebenevento.com .
🎟 Early bird pricing, speaker discounts, and scholarships are available.
Come exactly as you are. Leave changed.
