Weekend Retreat: In September 2026, the 13th annual weekend retreat will be held at a lakeside cabin located in Minnesota. Attendees will find radical hospitality in the form of home-cooked meals, fuzzy blankets, and friendship around the campfire.
A few things to note about Stronger Together Retreats hosted by Bellis:
Always guided by licensed professionals and exclusively offered to women whose children are parented by others — no matter the circumstances.
For the Day Retreat, a registration fee of $30 is requested. If you attend, your deposit will be refunded, or you may choose to donate it to Bellis. Cancellations made within one week of the retreat, or failure to attend, will result in forfeiture of the deposit.
Space is limited; we appreciate your understanding that completing the interest form does not guarantee an invitation to attend.
If your grief needs tending now, please use our Stronger Together Support Line™ by calling or texting 833-4BELLIS (833-423-5547).
“To be cared for and loved on throughout this weekend is so appreciated. The time to focus on myself, my healing, and my journey is invaluable. To be with others who get it and to just be me.”
