Retreats for mothers whose children are parented by others.

Stronger Together Retreats

Day Retreat: In March 2026, Bellis will host educational sessions, activities, and discussions intended to address topics of grief, self-care, self-worth, and identity. Lunch and snacks are provided.

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.

  • Free to attend and exclusively offered to women whose children are parented by others — no matter the circumstances.

  • Space is limited; we appreciate your understanding that registration 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.”
