Grief/Joy Circle (a mini retreat) is a safe and sacred container where we will name and honor our losses (both personal and collective), and experience simple and deeply nourishing practices to bring more grounding and peace to your body, mind, and heart. In our mini retreat, we will weave together conversation, honoring rituals, and embodied practices to honor your experience and invite beauty and hope into our stories. You’ll find solace in a community of kindreds who will witness your heart, honor your journey, and reflect back to you the truth that nourishment and healing can happen when we come together as women. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/1598282811166-SA3UOOQWDB92O9ETEDEC/shalom+retreat+colorado Retreats https://www.abbymortenson.com/social-feed daily 0.75 2018-08-01 https://www.abbymortenson.com/homepage daily 1.0 2026-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/817d0aa6-f066-40e1-9123-bf82c4aeb9f9/Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+griefjoy+%284%29.jpg homepage -

Hi! I’m abby I’m here to be your compassionate guide as we navigate the waters of cultivating Shalom together. My story has unfolded in unexpected ways - more grief than I’d hoped, yet thanks to God, more depth and peace and presence than I expected. I’d love to share what Ive learned and grow together as we find more Peace, Presence, and Joy, even in the midst of whatever life challenges you may be experiencing. As daughters of God, our hearts are created and called to be an “outpost of Eden”, a dwelling place of a dwelling God. Let’s explore this incredible call together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/1670091844297-U6U75KBXVD6CY24ISIIU/Screen+Shot+2022-12-03+at+1.22.12+PM.png Shalom Sanctuary - It’s just so good.

I’m abby I’m here to be your compassionate guide as we navigate the waters of Nourishing our nerbous systems (and lives), together. My story has unfolded in unexpected ways - more grief than I’d hoped, yet thanks to God, more depth and peace and presence than I expected. I’d love to share what I’ve learned and grow together as we find more Peace, Presence, and Joy, even in the midst of whatever life challenges you may be experiencing. As daughters of God, our hearts are created and called to be an “outpost of Eden”, a dwelling place of a dwelling God. Let’s explore this incredible call together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/1670091844297-U6U75KBXVD6CY24ISIIU/Screen+Shot+2022-12-03+at+1.22.12+PM.png Nourished: Nervous System Support - It’s just so good.

I’m Abby! My life and work are made up of many interwoven layers, and at the heart of it all is a longing to live a life of beauty and meaning, and to support others on their own journeys toward healing and wholeness. I am a foster and adoptive mother of four, a wife, a social worker, and a trauma-informed yoga teacher and somatic practitioner. Each of these roles has formed me, and together, they inform the way I hold space—with care for the nervous system, reverence for lived experience, and a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit. Much of this work was born from my own experience of grief, loss, and the slow, sacred process toward healing. Along the way, I have been shaped by embodied practices, supportive relationships, time in nature, and the miraculous presence of God’s grace. I know firsthand how transformative it can be to be met with gentleness and to learn how to come home to yourself again. I believe that love is at the center of our healing. From my faith, I understand God as Love—continually inviting us into deeper belonging, connection, and beauty. My work is rooted in my love for Jesus and a belief that healing is sacred. My work is shaped by this belief, while remaining open and welcoming to women from many backgrounds as I honor the unique spiritual language each person brings. https://www.abbymortenson.com/rooted-and-resilient-5-day-grounding daily 0.75 2026-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/93cc8469-25a7-4d3e-a1b1-58e6d8f76501/Beige+and+Brown+Aesthetic+Fashion+New+Collections+Video.jpg Rooted and Resilient 5 day grounding https://www.abbymortenson.com/rooted-and-resilient-5-day-grounding-audios daily 0.75 2026-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/93cc8469-25a7-4d3e-a1b1-58e6d8f76501/Beige+and+Brown+Aesthetic+Fashion+New+Collections+Video.jpg Rooted and Resilient Audios 5 day grounding (audios)) https://www.abbymortenson.com/withopenhandsretreat daily 0.75 2026-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/4bdbb8d5-952c-4b1d-b97e-6fca42d7fa46/IMG_2096.jpg With Open Hands RETREAT with open hands a sacred weekend retreat for foster and adoptive moms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/bfdd4faf-09fc-4152-9764-45c23800779e/IMG_2090.jpg With Open Hands RETREAT - a place to rest a place to be seen and held with gentleness and love a place to exhale a place to allow movement of grief and overwhelm a place to tend to the heart a place to be nourished a place to honor what we’ve lost and gather seedlings of hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/7040e1d5-3240-4364-9c90-ee318664eace/Screen+Shot+2026-04-02+at+9.39.09+PM.png With Open Hands RETREAT - fall in the catskills OCTOBER 2-4th 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/5b5941f8-3c22-472b-b02c-03d47ec9d9d1/IMG_2091.jpg With Open Hands RETREAT - I welcome you I’m Abby and I’ve been leading retreats since 2016. My desire is to cultivate sacred spaces where women and mothers can feel seen, supported, and nourished. Leading retreats is one of my favorite ways to connect and grow together. There was a time I felt like my grief might steal my joy forever. By the kindness and grace of God, I was invited into spaces where I could slow down. Where I could be held. Where I could move toward healing through embodied practices, nourishing time in nature, and meaningful integration. My prayer is that this retreat is that space for you. https://www.abbymortenson.com/aug30circle daily 0.75 2026-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/b0f29bb8-bfd2-4c6b-97f9-4d53cbcdc840/up+to+50%25+off.jpg Foster/Adoptive Mama Grief/Joy Circle (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/951130af-bd4b-4d9c-8552-774bbad4bd7c/Black%2BWhite%2BMinimalist%2BElegant%2BCalligraphy%2BBusiness%2BNewsletter%2BEmail%2BHeader%2B%25281%2529.png Foster/Adoptive Mama Grief/Joy Circle (Copy) - Grief/joy circle Sunday, AUGUST 30th 8pm Eastern time on zoom.

You’ll find solace in a community of kindreds who will witness your heart, honor your journey, and reflect back to you the truth that nourishment and healing can happen when we come together as women. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/e60873ce-254f-4379-b909-85d388d0830b/grief%2Fjoy+by+Meredith+Moyer Foster/Adoptive Mama Grief/Joy Circle (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/1607706628932-4E8FLSY6122BA57MUA39/465b0778.jpg Foster/Adoptive Mama Grief/Joy Circle (Copy) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.abbymortenson.com/store daily 0.75 2025-09-30 https://www.abbymortenson.com/store/deposit-with-open-hands-fosteradoptive-mama-retreat monthly 0.5 2026-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/951130af-bd4b-4d9c-8552-774bbad4bd7c/Black%2BWhite%2BMinimalist%2BElegant%2BCalligraphy%2BBusiness%2BNewsletter%2BEmail%2BHeader%2B%25281%2529.png Store - Deposit: WITH OPEN HANDS Foster/Adoptive Mama Retreat - Black+White+Minimalist+Elegant+Calligraphy+Business+Newsletter+Email+Header+%281%29.png https://www.abbymortenson.com/store/donation-for-griefjoy-circle monthly 0.5 2025-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/07c1f1c3-dd93-4fe0-b5a3-072aaf7c530c/Feeling++Support+Motivational+Holding+Hands+Instagram+Story+Template++%281%29.jpg Store - Donation For GRIEF/JOY Circle - Feeling Support Motivational Holding Hands Instagram Story Template (1).jpg https://www.abbymortenson.com/store/eysj6dxp51nkicp5qq07rx66zd08fs monthly 0.5 2025-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbfb872da50d3243c75c5e0/fa74c027-3970-42f3-897a-d8d44930f0d9/Feeling++Support+Motivational+Holding+Hands+Instagram+Story+Template+.jpg Store - Grief/JOY Mini Retreat - Feeling Support Motivational Holding Hands Instagram Story Template .jpg
