Smash and Mend Healing Retreat
2025-05-17 10:00 - 14:00 | Chesapeake Life Center – John & Cathy Belcher Campus, 90 Ritchie Highway, Pasadena, MD, 21122, US
For anyone who’s felt broken by loss, Chesapeake Life Center invites you to a healing experience like no other. The Smash and Mend Healing Retreat offers grieving hearts a chance to shatter—and rebuild—on Saturday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the John & Cathy Belcher Campus at 90 Ritchie Highway, Pasadena, Maryland.

This unique workshop is designed to help individuals process grief in both gentle and powerful ways. The day begins with a calming yoga session led by Cathy Rees, a certified yoga instructor and grief yoga specialist. The session is beginner-friendly and accessible for all; yoga mats and chairs will be provided.

Following a break for lunch, which will be provided, the real smashing begins—literally. Participants will have the opportunity to safely shatter ceramics and repurpose the fragments into beautiful mosaic creations. This hands-on activity offers a cathartic release while symbolizing how we can build something new from what’s been broken. Attendees are welcome to bring a sentimental porcelain item to smash, though plenty of materials will be available.

“Grief can leave us feeling shattered,” Alena Dailey, Chesapeake Life Center and Integrative Arts Manager said. “This retreat offers a safe space to acknowledge that pain and begin piecing together a new version of ourselves.”

The workshop fee is $20, and registration is required. Space is limited, so reserve your spot by calling 888-501-7077 or emailing griefinfo@chesapeakelifecenter.org.
