Grief retreats in Australia
Grief Trips has already travelled to Australia with a small group of grieving people, and we're returning in 2027. Here's a look back at the last Australia grief retreat, what past travellers said, and how to be first in line for the next one.
Our Australia grief retreat
A grief retreat is a small group of grieving people travelling together, guided by facilitators who have walked through loss themselves. In Australia, the days moved between grief workshops, one-to-one support and sharing circles and the kind of wide, quiet landscape that gives grief room to breathe. Everything was optional. Most people came alone, and left with people who understand their loss in a way few others can.
Moments from the Australia Grief Trip.
The Australia itinerary
Our last Australia grief retreat ran for eleven days in November 2025, tracing the Queensland coast from the Daintree rainforest down to the Whitsundays, then finishing in Sydney. Grief workshops, yoga and sharing circles were woven through, and everything was optional. Here's how the days unfolded:
The 2027 Australia retreat will have its own itinerary, shaped in the same spirit. Join the waitlist below to see it first.

Questions about grief retreats in Australia
Are there grief retreats in Australia?
Yes. Grief Trips ran its first Australia grief retreat in November 2025, along the Queensland coast and on to Sydney, and returns to Port Douglas, Queensland, from 20 to 26 June 2027: seven days, six nights, with a small group of grieving people.
When is the next grief retreat in Australia?
20 to 26 June 2027, in Port Douglas, Tropical North Queensland. It is not open to book yet. The waiting list hears the price and how to book first, and joining it is free and commits you to nothing.
Do I need to live in Australia to join?
No. People come from Australia and from all over the world, and most come on their own. You fly into Cairns, about an hour from Port Douglas, and everything from there is arranged for the group.
What happens on a grief retreat in Australia?
Optional grief workshops and sharing circles, one-to-one support, and time in the places around you: the Daintree Rainforest, the reef, the beach at sunset. Everything is optional, and you never have to share more than you want to.
