I recently attended a grief retreat led by Master Grief Coach,Terri Chaplin -and it was a truly transformative experience!
From the very beginning, Terri created a safe and welcoming space where there was no judgment and everyone's feelings were validated. This allowed for open and honest conversations to flow freely, creating a sense of community and support among the group. I was able to fully embrace my vulnerability and work through my grief in a positive and healing way. The retreat was held in a beautiful venue @ Full Circle Retreats, Christina and Kim prepared delicious food . The venue provided a peaceful atmosphere, adding to the overall experience. I am so pleased that I took the opportunity to attend this retreat and was able to form connective strong bonds with 9 amazing women, who were also on their own journey. I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of support and healing.

So happy I decided to attend Healing Hearts Haven at Full Circle Retreat. It was a special weekend of connection, reflection and healing. Truly!! Thank you Terri Chaplin for all that you did for us.

Long talks while sitting on the couch
Sharing food and stories around the kitchen table
Therapeutic art sessions
Calming walks in the forest behind Full Circle Retreat
Playful viewing and interacting with animals ❤️ Cisco
Chats and music around evening fires
And morning sunshine near the pool

Tears, laughter, hugs, cheers, sighs….and so much more.

It was a powerful and inspiring women’s weekend. A time to feel the love on the other side of pain.

I want to express my deepest, most heartfelt gratitude for the sacred experience of the Grief Retreat with Healing Hearts, you so lovingly held. After losing my life partner of 16 years, I was shattered. My heart was broken open, and I found myself walking through a darkness I didn’t know how to navigate. I was searching for a way to feel whole again—to breathe, to believe, to heal.

The way you gathered such beautiful souls in the serenity of that space felt like a divine invitation—one that opened my heart and awakened something deep within my spirit.

To be surrounded by such courageous, open-hearted women was nothing short of a blessing. In their presence, and under your gentle guidance, I witnessed a sacred unfolding.

The healing I received was something my soul had long been seeking, though I hadn’t fully realized how much until I felt it move through me. Your story, and the stories of the women you brought together, created a container of love so powerful, it transformed grief into a gateway of compassion, strength, and deep connection.

Thank you, Terri, for being the lightbearer—for creating a space where pain was honored, where vulnerability was met with reverence, and where love flowed freely and without judgment.

My heart is forever changed. I carry the stories, the souls, and the sacred silence we shared within me, and I will hold each of you in my prayers and in my heart.

The most meaningful part of the retreat for me was the common connection shared by everyone. The environment created by Terri was very comfortable and inviting. Everything was honestly perfect! My experience was enlightening and gave me new skills to help myself and others.

Terri became the person I could open up to and talk to after the loss of my son which has been the most difficult life event ever. She is absolutely amazing and has a way of processing grief that helped me move past so much such as guilt, shame, anger, and fear. She helped me look at my grief in a way that challenged my perception about it and where I was stuck in grief, sadness, and depression. Her workbook continues to help me through the journey of processing my feelings and digging deeper to get through this incredibly tough time.

Meet Your Grief Companion & Educator

Terri Chaplin brings warmth, wisdom, and years of experience to this transformational work. As an accredited grief companion and educator, certified in advanced grief support and heart focused techniques, she has gently walked alongside hundreds of people in the depths of grief, helping them reconnect with their strength and sense of balance through understanding, compassion, and lived experience.

Her calling was born from personal loss and experiences that revealed how deeply funeral service and grief care need more humanity, presence, and heart. After the deaths of her first husband and her son, Terri witnessed how easily the sacredness of grief can be lost in transactional systems. Those moments became the spark that guides her mission today: to help families, funeral professionals, and communities bring compassion back to the center of care.

Terri’s work is about holding space gently and patiently, without judgment. She witnesses grief in all its rawness and stays present with it, honoring each person’s pain as sacred and deeply personal. Her methods are grounded in deep listening and simple, meaningful tools that meet each person right where they are, creating room for healing to unfold naturally.
