Google Review: Maitreyi on Maldives Grief Trip
I was part of the Maldives Grief Trip in Feb 2026. It was one of the most memorable trips I've ever been on. Rachel is amazing at organising these! She was able to answer all our queries and support us in the best way possible. The grief workshops in the trip were done intentionally and in a way that felt supportive and didn't lead to any overwhelm for me. The co-facilitator, Blair Kaplan Venables, brought in so much joy, laughter, gentleness and authenticity to the whole trip. The sightseeing parts of the trip were amazing too and Rachel was really on top of everything that was needed for everyone! All the people I met on the trip helped to create a safe space for me to verbalise my grief. Would 10000% recommend this if you're grieving the loss of your loved one.
