Meet the Team

Ellie Broe & Dr. Tim Broe
Founders

Tim is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a PhD from the University of Michigan and 35+ years of helping individuals with life losses, trauma, and grief.

“When my mother passed on, I was emptied. My grief weekend was an answer to a prayer. Finally, life took a seat, and I could focus on missing my mother. I could comfort my hurt and confusion. The best pieces are ones that, if I told you, I would spoil the hard work those trainers put into making this space transformational. I did grief therapy, but that weekend, I began to heal, and I learned what I need to support my grief.”

Raven

“I share with a grateful heart that this grief experience was life changing. I learned that grief isn’t just about death. The team was empathic, loving, and with experience. I learned how to channel all the hurtful pain into joyous pain. I am grateful that this experience has changed my view on grief and the path to healing with God’s helping hand.”

Tajuana Lamb

“I came from South America to do this retreat in 2022. I was stretched to be quiet and pay attention to my emotions and do something about them. The burden that I had accumulated in my different grief in my life was emptied during this weekend. I was able to see the lies I believed about grief. I was set free. I was transformed.”
