Your Hosts: Mike and Stacy McCrory

Mike and Stacy McCrory are partners in life and co-founders of TwoCan Retreats, as well as Regional Directors for the Waves of Grief Collective™. In addition to leading grief retreats in Costa Rica and weekend retreats Santa Barbara, they host monthly Waves of Grief community gatherings at the beach in Santa Barbara.

After the loss of their oldest son in 2016, they committed themselves to creating spaces where grief can be met with honesty and compassion. Their work invites participants to learn how to carry loss while continuing to engage fully in life.

Rooted in their love of the ocean, family, and community, Mike and Stacy believe grief is meant to be carried together and that healing happens in community.

See their respective Teacher Bios for more detailed information about their background.

Waves of Grief™ Retreat in Costa Rica

Also With Stacy McCrory, LMFT, Mike McCrory, Sofia Caraballo, Sandy K. Schmidt and The Girl and The Sea Surf School

July 8 - 13, 2026
Waves of Grief Retreat Costa Rica is an embodied retreat for anyone navigating grief and learning to live fully alongside it. Grief is raw, messy and unpredictable. It may feel uncomfortable, or even counterintuitive, but allowing it to rise, like riding a wave, catching our breath and staying mindful between sets helps us find our footing again in the vastness of loss. At the Waves of Grief Retreat we’ll embrace the waves, both literally and figuratively — holding space for one another and cheering each other on. Our intention is to support you in listening inward, trusting your intuition and building resilience. You’re invited to step into new ways of being with what is — learning to live with grief, pain or regret, while rediscovering gratitude, hope and joy. By offering a supportive and intentional space for both inner and outer exploration, this retreat invites you to navigate life’s inevitable waves of grief with presence and intention. You’ll be invited to be awed by the beauty around you, cultivate a deeper sense of meaning, and live a more embodied life.
