1. Music as Medicine – Harness the evidence-based power of music therapy to give you multiple tools to express yourself without 'having to talk about it'  and access authentic peace and joy along the way. 
2. Companioning, Not Fixing – Rooted in Dr. Alan Wolfelt’s companioning philosophy, you’re never rushed, analyzed, or told to ‘move on.’ You’re met exactly where you are.
3. Sacred Retreat Spaces – Deep healing from grief needs more than 60-90 minutes on zoom. Give your nervous system the time, space, and safety it needs to express what is buried inside.
4. Integration & Community – Humans need structure, accountability, and community to make anything stick. Being human is a shared experience; you weren't meant to do this alone. 

1. Come Away for a Weekend Retreat

Friday evening to Sunday lunch, in an intimate group of 10–20, you’ll move through music, ritual, sharing, and rest.

2. Walk Through the Darkness & Into the Light        

We honor your loss (‘Through the Darkness’) and gently explore restoration and growth (‘Into the Light’) using the Dual Process Model, music therapy, rituals, community, and the distinction "Companioning".

3. Stay Connected as You Re‑Enter Your Life      

You’ll receive a 1:1 integration call and have the option to join a structured online integration group or longer‑term coaching.

Hi! my name is Tim Ringgold, and I'm no stranger to grief. As a board certified music therapist, I've been facilitating grief retreats since 2007 harnessing the healing power of music that goes beyond just sound and frequency. I also hold an additional certificate in Hospice & Palliative Care Music Therapy. 

However, my grief journey started way earlier than that. My 5 best friends were murdered in '95, my dad died in '97, one of my daughters died in '10, and my step dad died in '24.

This is not theory for me. I've walked through the valley of grief many times, and also fully healed from it. If I can heal from it, so can you, if you're ready. It's been my privilege to walk, work, and play with hundreds of moms, daughters, wives, sisters, sons, fathers, husbands, and brothers and their grief since 2007.
