INTRODUCING...

MEET YOUR HOST

Hi, I'm Joi Renique

Life Story Coach & Founder of Celebrate Legacy

I am extremely honored to have created an event that will help provide resources to those who are grieving.

In 2021, I founded 
Celebrate Legacy - a journal for life’s experiences to share with loved ones and future generations. When the Gone Too Soon Retreat was live in September 2022, I worked alongside 20+ experts to teach ways you can honor the loved ones you miss and gain support in ways that help you feel safe and feel seen.

Since 2022, I have hosted an annual legacy retreat. I am considering this year to be...

THIS YEAR'S Retreat is the first time we are... It has been my mission to help those who are grieving use the power of journaling to document our life experiences in real time as well as find ways to celebrate life events - even related to what we have lost.

JOIN US IN OUR 4TH ANNUAL RETREAT!

While I’ve supported hundreds of grievers through the retreats I've hosted, I’m not a grief specialist.
So, I’ve put together this dynamic speaker line-up!

PLUS, THESE LIVE DISCUSSIONS

The Grief Cafe offers a supportive, non-judgmental space for sharing your thoughts and feelings about grief, focusing on listening rather than providing solutions or advice.
 
        During the Panel Discussions you have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the experts, seek advice, and learn more about the subjects that matter to you the most.
 
Our Taboo Talks explore sensitive and challenging aspects of grief and healing that are rarely addressed openly. 

Register today for a chance to win daily prizes and a scholarship to...

We are dedicated to helping you to rediscover yourself in a way that feels meaningful. Take notice of any mention of the Celebrate Legacy Journal Club which will be explained little by little throughout the event.

On the final day, one unsuspecting (and engaged!) attendee will win a full scholarship and have instant access to resources that will change your grieving experience as you know it. Stay tuned for details and how you can apply!

AND there's even a FREE Gift Page!?

Our sponsors have stuffed your virtual gift bag full of resources, tools, templates & other sweet treats to help you take all that Grief Is... Retreat inspiration and create a roadmap for your grief journey!

Here are just some of the goodies you get immediate access to with your free event ticket:
