Trauma, overwhelm, and stress. 

They show up for us all at one time or another. We are not immune, no matter how tough we think we are. 

Taking time from your daily life and just for yourself is key to improving your mental health.

Join us to learn how to heal the impact that trauma has had on your brain and on your body. 

Trauma comes in many forms. Abusive relationships, assaults, witnessing a violent crime, car accident, domestic violence, bullying, sexual abuse, financial difficulties, medical trauma, racism and discrimination, traumatic childbirth, life-threatening diagnosis, hate crimes, natural disasters, attachment issues in family of origin, stress from work, hostile work environment, and loss of job. 

(And there are more areas where trauma impacts our lives on a regular basis.)

How does trauma impact YOU?Trauma changes the brain, immediately and in a long-term process. How? 

Neuropathways are altered that change how we see ourselves and how we respond to other people and situations. Trauma can make us feel dirty, damaged, and depressed. 

We can get stuck in the “stress/trauma response” and not have the ability to calm down completely leaving us in a chronic state of stress. This has devastating consequences for our physical and mental health. 

Because of the changes in the wiring and firing of our neurons, we become more emotionally reactive, over-cautious, and have difficulty with attachment in relationships. If we don’t learn to move past trauma we can cause ourselves to become ill, create problems in our relationships, and potentially shorten our lives. 

🫶Learn how trauma has impacted your health and well-being: We will discuss the impact of trauma on your brain, your body, your mind and your soul.

🫶Experience healing through mind body medicine experiences: We will share skills and exercises with you that over time will help you heal the impact that trauma has had on your life. 

🫶Build Meaningful Connections with others: A circle of other people who have suffered some form a trauma is a great place to share and receive the support you need as you heal. 

🫶Share your journey and create a new story: We are creating a new story, a new outcome, one where trauma leads you to create unimaginable growth

🫶This retreat is not just another event: We offer skills that we have been using for many years in our coaching and therapy practices. 

RELAX, HEAL, GROW

We have created this retreat to teach you and support you in your healing and growth. It is our desire to provide you with an immersive experience. 

If you are looking to connect with others, be fully present in an immersive experience, and feel heard, valued, and seen, this retreat is a rich environment conducive to powerful experiences in healing. 

Please note: This is not your typical retreat for relaxation. Though calming and relaxing exercises are necessary to put the brain into a place of neuroplasticity in order to change, we won’t stop there. Our goal is to teach you the tools that will sustain you, even after you leave this retreat and continue your journey home.
