The Sunrise Grief Retreat Society was formerly Mara Station Retreat Society which was established in 2008 to provide retreats for both persons with cancer, as well as separate retreats for those grieving.
In 2011 the decision was made to offer bereavement retreats only, and, as we no longer hold retreats at Mara Station, we changed our name to Sunrise Grief Retreat Society and have found new locations.
(If you are interested in the type of retreat for persons with cancer that Mara Station formerly provided, these retreats are provided by the Callanish Society in the Vancouver area.)
Board Directors as of November 2024
