Navigating Grief and Healing: Unveiling the Rest in Peace, Rise in Power Retreat In this episode, Kimber reconnects with drama therapist Anna Beck, one of her favorite guests, to discuss their upcoming 'Rest in Peace, Rise in Power' retreat. They dive deep into the theme of grief, an often-avoided but ever-present emotion, especially relevant with their October retreat's spooky death theme. From exploring the different stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—to sharing personal stories and strategies for coping, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone experiencing grief. Anna and Kimber emphasize the importance of community and acceptance in the healing process, promising that the retreat will be a fun, creative, and deeply supportive environment for all participants. The RIP (Rest in Peace/Rise in Power) Retreat will be held October 10-13, 2024, in Hildale, UT.
