WATCH MY DOCUMENTARY
In 2012, Victoria Valentina’s life was shattered by the sudden death of her young son, Koa. Struggling to find a way forward, she embarked on a profound journey through grief, seeking guidance from experts like Francis Weller, Dr. Joanne Cacciatore, and Dr. Ted Waird. Her quest led her to explore nature-based rituals and indigenous spirituality, searching for more meaningful ways to cope with loss.
Years later, Victoria is dedicated to transforming our culture's approach to grief. In her documentary you will watch interviews with grief experts and intimate retreats. The film follows her mission to un-silence grief, from hosting retreats for bereaved mothers to leading communal grief rituals, and training practitioners in Ritual Therapy.
Victoria aims to help us embrace grief as a path to growth and healing.
