Our Mission

Luella’s Lodge is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides support groups and non-traditional holistic therapies for families grieving the death of a child. Luella’s Lodge utilizes a beautiful log cabin on 10  peaceful and serene acres with a private lake and hiking & biking trails to provide a retreat where families can connect with one another through grief and healing.

 

Luella’s Lodge is located at 7397 E 1500 North Rd, in Oakwood Illinois (East-Central Illinois), with 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms in addition to an outdoor shower, hot tub and firepit. 

 

During the long-weekend stays for up to 10 grieving parents, we provide programming that includes group sessions led by a bereaved parent and overseen by a counselor, group meals, yoga sessions, massage therapy, breathwork, music therapy, arts & crafts and outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking and bird watching.
