About this Retreat
John Moir is a retired paramedic turned shamanic healer who has spent over 15 years guiding others through profound emotional and spiritual transformation. After decades on the front lines of crisis and trauma, John felt called to a more holistic path of healing that honours the soul as much as the body and supports those seeking healing retreats in nature or spiritual retreats in Ontario.
John is a certified Energy Medicine practitioner through The Four Winds Society, with advanced training in soul retrieval, compassionate depossession, and grief healing. As a healing retreat facilitator and grief healing specialist in Ontario, he draws deeply from his lifelong journey with grief, shame, and soul disconnection to offer compassionate support for those navigating loss, emotional renewal, and spiritual exploration.
Through his healing practice at Soulful Energy Medicine, the Urban Grief Shamans podcast, and the Soulful Sorrows platform he co-created with Patricia, John helps others find peace, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. His work blends ancient shamanic wisdom with real-world experience, offering a grounded, heart-centred approach to grief healing, emotional restoration, and spiritual growth through healing retreats in Ontario.
Details of this retreat
You’ve Done the Work. But Something Still Feels Just Out of Reach.
You’ve meditated, explored healing practices, and committed to your spiritual path, but something is still missing. This 3-day immersive retreat is your invitation to release unprocessed grief, unlock more profound joy, and step fully into the lightness and wholeness you’ve been longing for.
What if the key to your next evolution isn’t learning more but releasing what’s still quietly holding you back?
At Soulful Sorrows, we create a safe and welcoming space where grief is honored as a sacred part of the human journey. Through guided healing workshops, shared rituals, compassionate teaching, and gentle practices, you’ll be supported in releasing old sorrows and reconnecting with your deeper self.
Most of our healing work takes place within the comfort of our retreat center’s bright, peaceful gathering rooms — thoughtfully designed to foster safety, reflection, and deep emotional healing. When the time feels right, we invite guests to connect with the natural surroundings through quiet walks, labyrinth reflections, or simple moments outdoors.
This is not about rushing or bypassing grief — it’s about honoring it, making space for it, and allowing true healing to unfold at its own pace.
You will leave feeling lighter, more connected, and ready to step into your next chapter — not by pushing harder, but by gently laying down what you no longer need to carry.
This retreat is open to all — regardless of background, identity, or where you are on your healing path. You are seen, valued, and welcome here.
