Ohana Oasis
Ohana Oasis provides healing and restoration to bereaved parents through free,
week-long retreats on the Hawaiian island of Kauai and supportive,
lifelong connections. The Ohana Oasis retreat is available to participants free of
​charge regardless of income. Our objective is to create a healing
​and joyful experience for parents that is not clouded by financial concerns.

Due to challenges related to the pandemic their in-person retreats have been on hold, but
they have put together a virtual retreat experience, which will potentially allow them to
serve so many more parents than they otherwise could have. They'll be launching their
inaugural virtual retreat for up to ten parents soon. It’ll be a combination of videos,
at-home worksheets, and weekly virtual gatherings capped with a weekend stay-cation
the whole cohort takes at the same time. If you’re on their retreat waiting list,
keep an eye out for an email at the end of October 2020 with more details and the
chance to say you’re interested.
