Your facilitator
Marni Henderson, B.S., Community Health Educator, Wellness Practitioner, widow, and founder of Sunrise Retreats, brings over 30 years of experience in health education, coaching, and exercise training. Guided by both personal loss and professional insight, she supports women in navigating the life-altering experience of widowhood with compassion and clarity.
Marni’s approach honors the truth that grief affects every part of who we are—mind, body, and spirit. Through her whole-person lens, she helps participants tend to their health and well-being in deeply integrated ways, while building meaningful steps toward life after loss. Together, with the support of a compassionate community, she invites women to honor their past and gently begin shaping what comes next.
Past Participants are saying
“After the grief group came to an end, I now understood my grief and wanted to find ways to keep living with some type of meaning. I was struggling to figure out how. After working with Marni, I feel I am a much stronger and realize that I can do this and have lots of life left to live.”
“You gracefully and metaphorically took my hand as I walked up the mountain while seeing the peaks, valleys, beauty and devastation. With skillful questions encouraging me to see different perspectives while also feeling the pain, AND the love and joy. This time encouraged me to embrace my life and live fully.”
“I now have tools to live this new life. I feel empowered and grateful for the woman I am today. The pain and sorrow still lives with me…..and I am aware of how to choose the way I engage with life. I can feel joy again and I now remember my forgotten passions of years ago."
