We are the only nonprofit in Pennsylvania and one of the few on the East Coast dedicated to hosting these unique retreats, giving families a space to honor their child’s memory while finding hope and community.
Grief Retreats
Places To Heal
The Little Fox – Toby’s Foundation offers grief retreat weekends specifically designed for families who have experienced the heartbreaking loss of a baby. These retreats provide a safe and supportive environment where grieving parents, siblings, grandparents, and extended family can come together to heal, reflect, and connect with others who share similar experiences.
Our retreats are held in peaceful, nature-filled locations across the Laurel Highlands region of Pennsylvania. Each retreat is an opportunity for families to step away from the demands of everyday life, focus on their healing journey, and build meaningful connections with others who truly understand their grief.
Upcoming Retreats
We currently host retreats in various locations in the beautiful Laurel Highlands region of Pennsylvania. Our upcoming retreats are open to grieving mothers and couples from across the country.
