AWC Grief Support
Grief Therapy.
www.awcgrief.com
We are a connected team of therapists located across Ontario. Our skilled clinicians offer therapy in-person (in their local communities) and virtually by phone and video (including to other provinces, where permitted).
In October, Colleen and Andrea will be returning to Paco Da Gloria in northern Portugal to facilitate the grief programming again for Camp Alex Family Bereavement Retreat.
This weekend is a small (eight family) three night bereavement retreat designed to support and nurture a surviving parent with a child or children under the age of 19.
The retreat, held in english, provides an incredible opportunity for families to process grief together, while having fun and being nourished by the surrounding beauty, the food and the community.
Please share with anyone who may benefit.
Rebecca Illing
The
Founder.
After the sudden death of her brother Alex, she founded Camp Alex in his memory, shaped by her experience of his absence and a need to create a space where families living with death can come together and be supported.
Rebecca’s own experience of death shapes the way this work is held. Her brother, mother, and father have all died. That reality informs the care and attention given to both the families who attend and the people who support them. This work is grounded in lived experience.

Food.

Menus are personalised and created with the guests and type of event in mind. Dishes are intuitive and produce-led, depending on what is on offer from the seasons. Flavour in all dishes is key, as well as the styling and presentation of the dishes and table.
Meals are fully vegetarian, using local and seasonal produce and allowing the ingredients to speak for themselves. Sourdough bread in various forms, as well as sweets and desserts, can be included in menus and are always encouraged.
