The Grief Portal
Launch Gathering
at Bask Retreat Center
November 7-8th, 2026
Celebrate with us
Join us at BASK for an intimate women’s gathering and day of celebration in honor of the launch of The Grief Portal Care Packages—an offering created to help us care for the people we love in the months following loss, when initial support often begins to fade but grief remains.
Grief was never meant to be held alone

The Details
Together, we’ll slow down, spend time on the land, connect with one another, and experience some of the heart behind The Grief Portal through ritual and reflection, a beautiful shared dinner, and an evening sound bath by Ann Sensing.
You do not need to be experiencing a particular loss or arrive with anything you need to “work on.” This is a day to gather as women—to connect, laugh, eat, and enjoy being in community together.
Guests are welcome to head home at the end of the evening or extend the experience by staying overnight at Bask. More details below.
Meet the Host
Dani Hickman, LPC-MHSP
Reiki Master & Grief Ritual Leader
Hi, I’m Dani.
I am a fellow traveler on this journey through life. I am committed to living a soul-led life—doing my best to live authentically and with integrity.
I wear many hats in my life—mother, wife, friend, daughter, sister, psychotherapist, teacher, podcaster, entrepreneur.
Professionally, I have over 15 years of experience providing trauma-informed care to clients in a wide variety of settings—private practice, community mental health, coaching and retreats.
I truly feel that it’s an honor to be trusted to walk alongside women on their journeys back home to their most authentic, soul-connected self.
