FAQ’s

Exactly How Does The Program Work?

When you register for the Carry The Fire 28-Day Grief Retreat you will receive an introductory email with a welcome and instructional video, along with your first day’s activity. The next day you will receive your first unit, consisting of all the material you will need for three days. Thereafter you’ll receive a new unit packet of videos and assignments every three days (9 units in total). Each day consists of an introductory video and various assignments to support you on your journey through grief.

Does Carry The Fire Have To Be Completed Over 28 Days?

There are very few absolutes when it comes to grief, and certainly, there is no one-size-fits-all time frame (as you will explore in the program). It is your grief. It is your journey. It is your time frame. Carry The Fire is a program to nurture and support you through your grief, and you can certainly extend this program, engaging it every two or three days over the course of two or three months. However, it is our experience that containing it within a 28 day period is most impactful, even if it means doing less each day.

Do I have to do all of the day’s activities?

After a loss, the last thing you need is another obligation or burden. Carry The Fire should certainly not be one of them. Indeed, there are multiple options for you to engage on any given day, however, they should be thought of not as “have-to’s,” rather, they are “get-to’s.” You get to do what you want, whichever speaks to you that day. Maybe you watch the video and reflect upon that day’s theme and call it a day. Perhaps you choose to follow the journaling prompts, or just want to be guided in a healing meditation. Think of it as a “choose your own adventure.” This program provides you choices, so choose whatever you feel will bring you the guidance you need and comfort you deserve!

Can I Break The Day’s Activities Up?

Carry The Fire can be engaged in one sitting or divided up during the course of the day. Some people choose to watch that day’s video in the morning and to engage the activities in the evening. Others have shared they like to watch the video and journal in the morning, while doing the meditations or other bonus activities upon returning from work, or after the kids are in bed. Some have shared they save the bonus activities, such as yoga, for the weekends. There is simply no right way, or wrong way to grieve. All that matters is you do in whatever way works for you.

Can I do this with a friend, or in a small group?

Yes! Carry The Fire is perfectly suited to be done with a friend, partner or family member. It is crucial we feel supported and have a sense of connection when going through grief. The more support we have the better. Having someone engage this program and do this work with us can be deeply meaningful.

What happens after I purchase Carry The Fire?

Upon purchasing Carry The Fire you will be redirected to a third-party site called, “Thinkific,” where you will have to sign up for a new account (if you don’t have one already). This simply requires choosing a username and password, at which point you will have immediate access to all 28 days of the program. Again, you can choose to do the program at your own pace, however, you will also receive emails every three days (9 units) to support you, offer you some bonus insights and inspire you along your journey.
