Your Hosts: Mike and Stacy McCrory
Partners in love, work and play, Mike & Stacy McCrory are co-founders of TwoCan Retreats & Regional Directors for the Waves of Grief Collective™, and enjoy hosting Second Sunday Community Drop-in Sessions in Santa Barbara, CA. Stacy is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, also serving as Clinical Consultant to the Collective. Stacy has been in private practice in Santa Barbara for nearly 20 years, specializing in grief and trauma, assisting individuals, couples and families with repairing their relationships and navigating major life transitions.
Mike & Stacy endured the tragic loss of their oldest son in 2016, and have made meaning in hosting and facilitating healing experiences focused on learning to ride the waves of grief, love and loss, and choosing to engage in a life worth living. These programs seek to re-imagine how we navigate grief and loss – how making space for grief in our lives frees us up to experience more joy – enriching not only our own lives, but the lives of those around us.
Mike has spent much of his career in the hospitality industry, so in addition to making sure everyone is safe and well fed, Mike’s special skill is taking care of people and remembering all the little details that matter. He and Stacy are firm believers in the healing power of community. They promote compassion and acts of service, believing that grace, gratitude and genuine respect can in fact make the world a kinder and more peaceful place.
Together, they’ve raised four beautiful kids in and around the ocean. They adore their friends and family, love to travel, play outdoors and meet new people. They especially love Costa Rica and can’t wait to share it with you!
