Support Survivors' Healing Retreat 2024
Donation protected
This Healing Retreat offers a ceremonial container for a small group of participants to honor, grieve and celebrate the trials and triumphs in the journey of healing from childhood sexual abuse. Created for survivors by survivors, the facilitation team uses a holistic approach to unravel the pervasiveness of isolation, silence and shame, and to weave together the collective stories of survivors while being witness to one another’s individual experience.
This year, there is need for financial support to make the Healing Retreat happen. Every year, the team has committed to making the retreat financially accessible by offering full and partial scholarships, as well as a wide sliding scale payment option. For 2024’s retreat, we have had a high amount of scholarship requests and are in need of raising $7,000 so that we can offer the retreat this year and accommodate those seeking this profound healing experience in their lives.
More about the Healing Retreat:
This retreat uses a variety of modalities to explore how childhood experiences are held in the different aspects of self and offers opportunities for release, clearing and healing through talking circles, somatic practice, movement, visualization, singing, a grief ritual, and quiet integration time.
The Healing Retreat is for adult survivors of childhood sexual trauma, defined as any sexual violation experienced by someone under the age of 18, and is open to participants of all gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.
The retreat is intended for those who have already begun their healing journey and are seeking more support by working with others within a sacred circle.
