Waves of Hope: Retreat for Bereaved Parents

Making Waves For Parents Who Have Experienced Loss

Waves of Hope started in honor of the loss of several loved ones over a year due to suicide, murder, and a car accident. The final straw was the loss of a local community friend and Costa Rica surfing lover. In the event of his friend's passing, Sean witnessed the struggles her mother faced in losing her child. The pain she endured was a magnetic force behind making Sean’s dream of creating a retreat for parents who have lost a child. The week-long retreat at Vida Asana in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica offers counseling, therapy, yoga, massage, meditation, and more.

Vida Asana functions year-round as an all-inclusive yoga retreat facility, and once a year sets aside a week for Waves of Hope. The nonprofit provides an all-expense paid healing retreat to parents in need of help after a loss.

Waves of Hope is making waves and touching lives, instilling hope and spreading love. The retreat will be hosted in August 2023. Our hope is to fully fund this experience for 14 grieving parents and help restore the Waves of Hope endowment so that we can help more families in the future.

Any help and support for this incredible mission would be greatly appreciated by those who have suffered such tragic loss as we seek to honor our children that are no longer physically with us.

Thank you for your kindness, support and generosity!
