Annamarie Fidel-Rice
Annamarie Fidel-Rice, Ph.D., initially had the idea to create retreats for women to celebrate the feminine 20+ years ago. Even though the seed for the Tuscan retreat came in 2000, 9/11 happened and the time wasn’t right until now … right now. Her love of Italy comes from this special culture that celebrates relationships, the earth (la terra), and all the riches from produce to food to art and beauty. 2021 was her inaugural retreat to Italy.
In the Fall of 2006, Annamarie visited Peru and was deeply moved by the spirit of her trip. She felt compelled to create the Peru retreat and share the experience of this magical country with other women. In 2023, she hosted her 11th retreat and enjoyed her 14th trip to Peru.
Annamarie is a loss and grief educator with a private practice in Arvada, Colorado, and has been practicing for over 30 years. Annamarie taught in the Masters in Counseling Program at Regis University for 16 years and is now a Professor Emerita. In addition, you can find information about her two books, Spiritual Proof of Presence and The Alchemy of Grief: Embracing Mourning through Grace, on her website: www.annamariefidelrice.com.
