“It’s scary, but the person you can uncover is worth it.”
— Janet

To attend you need only be:

  • Kind, friendly and open.

  • Seeking to heal and move forward in life.

  • Open to working with others from different backgrounds.

Healing from trauma can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be done alone.

“There’s something about the outdoors that’s helped me move on from my trauma memories and look inside. And to become—I wouldn’t say whole again, but just not so stuck in the past, if you will.”
— Wayne

The Growth & Healing After Trauma Retreat is for individuals who are seeking to heal from past trauma and reduce stress in a supportive environment.

Carving out space for healing is a smart investment in your best asset—you!

We welcome all people of every race, color, sex, nation of origin, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, profession, education, or walk of life. We welcome YOU.


$100 for one day
$150 for both days

Note that this is not psychotherapy, instead it is a workshop – as such, it will focus on building strengths to face trauma, education, peer support, and growth after trauma but will not include directly reprocessing trauma. This retreat is not appropriate for those in mental health crisis.
